seeking compassion
where did you go
after all the anxiety left
as if your body
left behind
a puddle of confusion
did you take all the suffering
with you
or did you leave it behind
for some unfortunate
soul to find
I’m surprised you hadn’t
already sought your karma
or did you go
a different direction this time
perhaps skyward
august two thousand twenty-four
