– Danouh – Gone
I loaded the pipe, flicked the lighter, and inhaled deeply
The sizzle of the crack and the euphoric rush exploding inside my head
Were suddenly all that mattered to me
The banging on the door was like thunder on the horizon
I heard the warning, but I didn’t feel threatened anymore
Because I was back in my element
That faraway place where nothing on this earth could touch me
The rush hijacked my brain
And the knocking, scurrying, and fear disappeared
The memories of wife and children were gone
I was gone
The flame became a dying star far, far away
I folded my arms over my chest, longing for comfort, for peace
I was so sick
