This Place Is Not The Place

Poetry

Have you ever bathed in green shadows
and wished you could just be this forever
— only to return to the hell of grey and burning
sunshine,
the haunted concrete of your brain

Have ever tried to pry
those thoughts
from the corners
where they hide

Have you ever found it —
the place which is not the
place where you can find
the place but instead is the place
which that place sits behind

Have you ever wanted to just descend those
sweet cool steps
and stay there, for a while

Have you ever found the peace that
lurks there, trying to be kind
