nightmare

[thisisclever]

paralyzed
but still the soil flies
through airless space
black
but here the lights are
too bright and I
don't want to see

pupils drawn
to an unforgiving edge
its creviced face
illuminated, impossible
to look away

from the mirrored body
gravity’s prey
dark eyes deadened
drained
cold lips
you will inherit this
.

paralyzed
wipe the stubborn somnolence from
my eyes
haunted, but at least
I am awake
