The Backdoor

Today I went offline,
tiring of the 14 poetry sites I write for
longing for the closeness of a small rented room
missing the darkness when it used to call me friend
questioning if the voices I heard can find me now
wondering—if I still wonder at all

(Dreamsleep: April, 2021)

a well deserved break I'd say ~ love your title and this line particularly "missing the darkness when it used to call me friend"
