Missing

They took me away.
I miss my phone. 

I couldn’t have it. 
For a week. 
Sad lights. 
Instead of ethereal lights. 

Buried.
Lights shining and singing. 
Healing. 
I saw healing in the corner of my eye. 
They took my phone away. 

They took my phone and put it away. 
Then I can feel everything sway. 
When you faint, it’s not a delight. 
But for a second I can see a bright light. 

And that’s not a good first day. 

They turn the lights out at 9:00 pm sharp. 
Every day, for the whole week. 
I miss my phone.
