Bedroom doors rattle

A slamming battle

Cries for help

Echo


Timeless encounters

A frightful embargo

Toothless creatures

Whine and waddle


Too far we've come

No distance we've gone

Confusion mistakes us

Delusion, it takes us


I'm paralyzed

I'm sinking

I'm falling

Not Thinking


Wishing and hoping

A tireless beknowing

Only awakening can articulate

An empty room that speculates


Sighs relief

To my disbelief

Dark solidarity

No cries of irregularity


No falling or sinking

No toothless creatures

Just me and my clarity

In dark solidarity
