Today's haiku:
Awake, heart pounding-
Did i return to the cult??
It was just a dream.

After jiu-jitsu
My heart pounding in my ears
Breathe and meditate

What's happening now:
Sitting in the dark-
A tree, a storm, melting food-
Power outage stress

Will it be for long?
Will i have to sleep outside
The AC isn't running
