Travel

He travelled
in time
feeling back
his broken heart
as painful
as his broken ribs
when he came to
after the accident
mushroom taste
in his mouth

he travelled
through the swirling
constellations
of cannabis stars

He came through
hugging trees
dodging ditches
stepping over wreckages
of broken relationships
frozen images
etched in his brain
love and disappointments
accusations and tears
as he tripped, smiling

the powder stained
his nose
upper lips
he travelled on.♣
