CAUGHT

Lost, caught, trapped, stuck,
not sure of what’s next.

Show me a small house
in this bloated forest.

Let there be a light in a window.
Let there be a fire place – lit.

Let there be a door that opens -
without any trouble.
 
Let there be food on a stove.
and a soft chair to sit on.

I need a warm bed for the night
and a long, long sleep - rest.

Tomorrow I can find my way out
of this mess – but not right now.
