A poem without a title

I toss and turn

But, all I smell is a burn

Is it the wind?

April has been the cruelest month

It hasn’t been too kind


But I still wonder

Will it ever leave me?

It drowns me

Sucks me up like a quagmire


My Mother says it is too much heat

Friends say it is too much thinking

He says it is all in your head

I say it is the chill


Too much crowding

Yet the silence

Too many people

Yet the loneliness

Too much wind

Yet the parchness


But I still wonder

Will it ever be?
