Should I mark the world’s
calibrations by years?
High ones

when I am mostly fine
at conducting my life with an easeful grace.
Years when the world is unsteady
but I am not.

about to tumble across the unwritten
pages of my diary and journals
then I will be extraordinarily thankful,
for from all the gifts a year can bring
a gap of good mental health
this year
is the one I need
