A week of poems #7: Melatonin


Maudlin melatonin
bitter sequin smiles.
The mind is often roaming,
resolution's dipped in guile.

Joyful is the apnea
sharpened be thy grin,
A dash or two of salvia,
a cup's filled to the brim.

Sorrow serotonin,
A dance was never had,
Maudlin melatonin,
I'm happy when I'm sad.

Cheshire knife it slices,
I will, I did, I'll try.
Melatonin rises,
I'm smiling when I cry.
