September 29 by Meghan HelmichA colorful man with a monacle
adjusted my medication today.
His hands juggled glass elephants
while he looked me in the eye
to remind me what it feels like to see morning,
taste a meal, and be in the bathroom
without eyeing the pastel razors in the tub.
As if he knew.
I told him that breathing is as death-defying
as I can manage these days
and he laughed like a calliope. 09/29/2011 Posted on 09/29/2011 Copyright © 2025 Meghan Helmich
