The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Homesick

Lying in the hospital bed
limited by pain and johnny
familiar with the ceiling
on ninety-fifth assessment

Counting the hours and minutes
until release to health and home
dreading postponement
of promise.


Line count: 8
Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 06.17.25
Prompt: Write a poem about when time seems to crawl.
