How to Be an (Undercover) Hermit
This is my entry for Week 7 of LJ Idol. The topic this week is hikikomori.
How to Be an (Undercover) Hermit
Make a cave inside
your mind: moss-lush, or candle-sparse. Lined
with books or fluffy cashmere. Stocked
with chamomile, or slushy with gin.
Steamy baths or cold gel masks.
Filled with ballads and chants,
or aggressive guitar riffs, or water
plunking rhythmically.
When overwhelmed with clamor, inhale
deeply; blow open the flap
and escape within.
