So Why Talk About That?

Justin Shaw-Williams

 

Lost myself last night
in a bottle of wine.
Found myself
making peace with the voices
in my head.
It’s ok, really.
_
Sometimes,
I watch the rugby.
Hard to get enthused
about a candy bar wrapper.
The state of it.
_
Saw my brother smiling again.
They were all talking
about things.
Feeling those things.
They ran it past me.
