A Woman Alone
Woke up with a sadness
I can't explain.
Went to a bookstore and
walked around to make
it go away.
It usually works but not
today.
Went home, took a nap.
Dreamt I was underwater
again.
My lover was drawing.
He has no face.
I couldn't save him.
I woke up with woman voice
in my head:
Your sadness it's chemical.
Had dinner at nine.
Lying on my bed now
feeling my way around
my body that I can't seem
to recognize tonight.
