Reverb

Echoes of a boy’s sobsOpened my eyes at 2:22amMy arms unfurled to reach“Where are you?” on my lips Echoes of a dog’s sighsAnswered my ears at 2:23amMy back untwists to stand“Where am I?” on my tongue Echoes of a dream’s throbsReplaced mute words at 2:24amMy brain defogs to seeWhere I slept in my clothes Echoes Continue reading

Good Morning, Moribund

1am awake againAt 3 and 4 and 5Soaked in freezing nightmareBody shaking half alive I heard your voice say noSo loud I sat up with a startLooked around my empty roomAnd completely fell apart – Good morning, moribundWill the sun find me todayOr will the echo of your voiceTurn every scene to grayWhat can I Continue reading
