Withdrawal Symptoms

by Anita Mac

The bottom that fell out
has moved up--
    stomach to heart.
Home in shadows,
not the Light it
was.

I should be
crumpled,
somewhere Public,
    head to tile,
    back to stall.
That
would be appropriate.

My minds eye Forgets
the bumbling lower expectations.

Reality is Relief.

You would let my Mind be.

How many versions?
This one is lighter on the nominative, vocative and accusative, but a case could be made for either/any.
Not feeling at home at home is where I live.

This is the first poem I will have added to my favorites in a long time.
