today

today

it feels hard 

to think

in full lines

or perhaps

at

all.


the thoughts

come at me

from every direction

never ceasing

interrupting 

sideswiping

any chance,

any chance at all

for a peaceful minute

or second.


this

and then that.

hi

I’m here

I’m trying 

but stop

just stop

let me breathe

let me sit

let me be

let me live.
