Home remedies

When all that’s changed is your mood, 
I have trouble believing
you’ve swallowed the right pill.

Are you resting? Or are you failing to notice
the wildfires nesting
under the skin of your palms?
Your pillow heart,
your iron mind.

Just—address the problems in your life!
Eat a spoonful of local honey every morning!
Sketch the clouds with whatever writing utensil you have available!
Spend the night dancing!

It matters!
All of it matters!
