On A Hillside
Poem from the Love collection
Light
held you today
in a way
I am yet unable.
Blue sky
coloured your cheeks
and I lay
mesmerised
by your beauty.
The wind
with summer hands
held you
in a way
I dare to attain
but which
will take
a lifetime.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
