Shift

We all need some good things
to calm a calamity.
A mug of the nice tea
with extra honey,

the smooth of an old stone,
a long talk on the phone
with one who shared a wishbone 
to make you feel less alone.

And if you listen closely 
you can hear your mother as she's 
humming in the pantry.
Footsteps like a heartbeat.

But if you still want to hide,
pull a tome and find inside
that you could live under the tide,
fight a fight or spy with spies.

If you don't need some advice
and you can't find blood sacrifice
*You set down your device,
and close your eyes*
