I wish I could
Take a break
From myself,
Hit snooze,
Put my thoughts
On mute
For a short while;
Be awake,
But not move an inch,
As if lost
In a dream
Too wild,
Nothing rings
On the other end
When I dial,
My mailbox
Gets no note
From me,
And all the things
That I keep aside
In a pile,
Stay there,
And do not fall over;
I wish I had
An on/off switch
With a tiny, red light
Above it,
So if I ever
Go out like that
Someone out there
Could bring me back.

“Nothing rings / On the other end / When I dial, / My mailbox / Gets no note / From me…”
This is deep and speaks to me. There’s such a poignancy to this poem, such a sense of loneliness. It’s beautiful in its somber tone and, as all of your poetry seems to be, it’s so relatable. Wonderfully expressed, Aaysid. π
