do summoning circles work?

oh to be held by someone

right now

 

to have someone quell

the rapid beating of your heart

the raging thoughts in your brain

the tightening muscles in your body

 

with just their presence

with a hand on the small of your back

with their arms wrapped around you

 

as if their embrace

could shield you from

all of the pain

all of the worry

 

and maybe it does,

even for just a moment

 

hug me?
