Evan didn't know
How long he had been lying there
With his arms crossed on his chest
And the sandalwood incense
Burning his nostrils
To him
It seemed as if the flow of time
Had slowed down
Or didn't exist altogether
And even if he could
Hear the clanging
Of what appeared to be dishes in the next room
He hadn't moved much
Since he lost his sight
And the seer had led him to a bed

It was
As if he had been a bird
Locked in a cage
But the cage was his mind
And inside of his skull
The demons were as restless as ever
By reminding him
Of all that he had been trying to forget
By carefully packing up unpleasant memories
And setting them aside
In the corners of his psyche

For him
It was easier to deal with the pain
Caused by life
By denying it
Rather than spending time
On dissecting his wounds
And analyzing his past
For the most part
It had worked
Unless he had been left alone
To drink and slow dance with his pain

It puzzled him
How calm and collected he had become
Through the years
Perhaps not caring
There was no eruption
Of anger in response to becoming blind
Or the seer claiming to be his long-lost father
Instead
He fell silent
And kept feeling the rush of melancholy
Brought on by his thoughts

He didn't believe
That he would ever emotionally be healed
But maybe the seer was right
He had to look within
And in these past days
He had no other option
Than to be locked up with himself

He heard the seer walking towards his door
And could smell the chamomile tea
Even before it flung open
Here my boy
Have a drink
And maybe we can talk after
