You, Fickle Elixir of Hope

© 2023 by Vernon Miles Kerr and VernonMilesKerr.com

Bitterly delicious blower-away of morning groggy,
Elixir, layering hope upon hopeless thoughts,
Possiblities upon a sea of doubts:
Why do you not stay longer?
Would that medical science 
Create a timed-release version of you
So that my heart and mind could.
At all moments, be normal.
