Revisit-or

Altered states vacillate.

They lift me from longing

that sets in when he returns.

No high alerts to warn of his arrival.

Ensuing panic proves hard to shake,

but pampering takes shape in myriad forms.

Touch and sound work best.

Painting mindscapes aids,

as grief walks in on tiptoes.
