visiting you

by dani kopoulos

 

there you go.

you’ve dropped off again, My dear one.

you’ve surrendered, and it was easy.

perhaps even delicious, certainly a relief.

your body limp and inactive, not trying to accomplish this or that.

your mind not trying to control anything, for once, with its machinations.

not engaged in its endless reasoning and bargaining and computations.
