It\u2019s like that you know, I will tell this friend\u00a0
it just comes every so often, and January \u00a0
well yes,\u00a0
there is that… I know,\u00a0
anxiety starts to act up, considers itself most important\u00a0
of thought\u00a0
churns things up in a constant motion\u00a0
makes for rather dismal time\u00a0
spent inside\u00a0
and you will try, you will\u00a0
to be kind to her, to be patient, to garner even the smallest hint\u00a0
of \u00a0
compassion\u00a0
a soft pat on the back, sort of half smile\u00a0
in consolidation\u00a0
wonder if there might be something nice\u00a0
you might of said to somehow \u00a0
make her feel a little less ridiculous\u00a0
in this \u2026 \u00a0
wallow\u00a0
this internal self-pitying defeat\u00a0
again, you can\u00a0sit just quietly there with her, this friend\u00a0
as she\u00a0tries her best to detach the raggedy bits\u00a0of shadow\u00a0
that tend to follow her around \u00a0
stuff them in that old suitcase under the bed\u00a0
while wondering why she\u00a0left them out there\u00a0
so vulnerable and\u00a0
exposed\u00a0
in the first place\u00a0
you can try and tell her about that retrograde thing\u00a0
someone mentioned\u00a0
possible causes of explosions over something \u00a0
small\u00a0
instead of saying what she needed\u00a0
in the first place\u00a0
\u00a0
kindness, just gentle kindness, and \u00a0
affection\u00a0
maybe,\u00a0
understanding\u00a0
\u00a0
also, I will tell her\u00a0
kind of \u00a0
an inside job\u00a0and who could possibly understand this jumbled up mess
in here anyway
let’s just leave it, where it is
\u00a0
then\u00a0you can offer her, your friend \u00a0
the softest \u00a0
sweetest lullaby you can think of \u00a0
on the spot, anyway\u00a0
and let it kind of soar
\u00a0
and in the morning, in just the right light\u00a0
you will notice\u00a0
that again\u00a0
\u00a0
something serenely beautiful\u00a0
has returned
more dulcet
