The Music

I started to wonder

how many moons

I had spent

staring out of

hospital rooms,

hospital rooms,

hospital rooms, 

hospital rooms,

dizzy still from

the smells of a self

dripping out of a body

as the IV drips

under the skin.

And someone had told me that

these are the best days

of your life

yet I groan to the bone,

so I turn that one song Im digging

all the way up

til my body thumps

in time with the beat,

put that shit on repeat

until it’s just me and the music.
