No Pablo Neruda

Essays on life, work and literature

Really Not Myself

Dear god eyes, please don’t get wet,

Not even through this Tuesday yet,

Yet screaming hormones from a pill,

Insist I will, insist I will,

And thoughts from Sunday wreck my head

My heart has stopped, I think I’m dead,

Oh no, I’m not, it’s them, instead,

The refugees I can’t protect,

And clients whose small wealth I’ve lost

And my own dreams, for this, the cost,

So stressed, and stretched, and strained.

Can’t I,

Just lie here for a little while?
