When your heart is in exile
remembering when to smile
might be one of
the problems that you face
Trying to act normal
when you don’t know
what normal is
you might prefer to vanish
without a trace
but we keep showing up
and going through the motions
in the usual strangely
familiar places
Hoping and fearing
for the mask to be stripped away
a return to the light of day
and the state of earthly grace
