Withdrawal Day Five

[TranquillityBase]

I need to change the channel,
craving for nicotine 
to the early morning storm 
now passing on, leaving only 
scattered drops 
and the cold breath of autumn.

Like all addicts

I need something to change the channel,

in my case, from nicotine need to something else.

The early morning storm has passed

so that distraction has ceased

leaving only scattered drops

and the cold breath of autumn.

The cats are restless,

the dog knows, 

no dog park this morning.

I change the channel to Dylan.

Nature is not enough

to fight these insidious cravings.
