Soul Compartment by Jasen Sousa

Soul Compartment 

For now, we are friends, because addiction

has decided to hang with someone else.

His eyes are open, his pupils are wide,

and he witnesses me for the first time in awhile.

He comments about my hat I’ve had for months,

and the earring that has hung from my lobe

for even longer, and how much he likes them.

We have a conversation I know

he will remember, I speak from my soul

that I usually keep locked inside my glove

compartment with my wallet.

This is a day to cherish

because it might be weeks

before I hear from him again.
