Should I wish to know your concerns?
Whether for a happy conclusion or something less sanguine,
I need only examine the notes and scribbles
That covers the surface of your nightstand.
I believe those barely legible imprints,
Some showing an emotional emphasis
Others lightly written, suggesting an unresolved internal
conflict,
Tell of your dreams and nightmares.
Pills and medications speak to problems
That, apparently, has not lent them
To purely intellectual resolutions.
Still it speaks of a battle fully engaged.
There is a picture and phone on this stand.
The former likely speaks of love,
While the phone offers
An escape from solitary.
