For a Friend in an Asylum in California

Thomas W Case



Give me lazy lithium
days; soft asylum and Cheshire madness.
This sadness only
lasts
awhile, with sun burnt
smiles and ocean mist
kisses...

Give me sweet Mai Tai
nights, gentle lunacy.
The Mad Hatter moon
laughs at me,
and the fog
only lasts a
little while.

Just one more time,
please stay a while.

    Lazy lithium days and Cheshire madness... very fine imagery, densely teeming with allusions and sound. I will remember this little ditty... I assume you are trying to say "make the best of it" but with irony and yes beauty.

    • Thomas W Case

      Thank you. I appreciate the comment.

      Soft asylum, however soft it’s going to be a hard job. So well captured Thomas. Have a good Tuesday.

      How truly wonderful, just for a glimpse of sanity. What a stunning write I always love your brevity especially when every word counts as yours always do. 🌹

      like Teddy said,
      every word counts.
