It’s around 3 am
Lying flat on my back
On the picnic table in the park
Total limpness mercifully reached me…
Released from time
Hours slip by…
So numb I’m somewhere else
Just staring at the sky.

Nothing around exists…
Lost in thoughts, fabulations
The induced hallucinations fill the void…
Animated clouds so lively and colorful
Keep pain away from consciousness
Hours slip by…
So relieved I’m weightless
Just oblivious to the world.

The scent of summer,
The night ambiance,
The war parties silenced …
It was the right dosage to sweetness
Those nights of total escape…
Hours, days slipped by…
So dead I could finally breathe
Just content to be far away.
