The Lonesome

by M. Douglas Hoss

Different psychiatrists
Who depend on strangers,
Appear in your nightly dreams.
But they always slam the door as they leave
And never agree with each other,
Constantly fighting about the smallest things.
But in the morning,
When the couch crumbles
At the touch of your eyes,
It becomes painfully obvious
That even death can’t bring relief.

From: 
"Moments of Temporary Sanity" by M. Douglas Hoss
