Cannabinoia
written by: Pablo Cúzco
For Anthony~
nights spent
in a panicked rush
of exploding fear
suffocated
choking terrors
caused stuttered breathing
frozen trembling
conversations
stolen by the silver darkness
sought warmth in prayer
but remorse brought
no relief
you found
strength in self
gained absolution
got the Pope’s blessing
became a fearless warrior prince
and recited feathered mantras
in your woken dreams
then
I lost you
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
This is a true story of what a dear friend went through before I lost him to mental illness.
