Echoes of a boy’s sobs
Opened my eyes at 2:22am
My arms unfurled to reach
“Where are you?” on my lips
Echoes of a dog’s sighs
Answered my ears at 2:23am
My back untwists to stand
“Where am I?” on my tongue
Echoes of a dream’s throbs
Replaced mute words at 2:24am
My brain defogs to see
Where I slept in my clothes
Echoes of the child’s cries
Reverb with me at 2:25am
My fingers reveal eyes dry
Where I swore in my head
The tears would be mine
Alchemic Verse
