Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

One Minute

I
need
a minute

to breathe

when I can lock
the door behind me
and not hear
a single sound
not even
the chatter 
inside my brain

I need that minute
so very desperately
when I can
close my eyes
and whisper
just a sigh

and listen with
ultimate delight
to the bubble
of silence

around
my
head
