I am not dead
Just gone away
Like a vacation
I'm back to stay
Until I get tired
And take some time off
To get myself together
To get rid of this cough
I have not passed away
I haven't been found dying
I've been on leave, so to speak,
And the poetry's been trying
Trying to find its voice
Trying to find its flavour
So that a reader will enjoy the work
And its theme, they can savor
I am not dead
Just gone away
Like the common cold, I'm back
