Almost missed a final yesterday, luckily I've got a sweet professor. It's 6am, I've got another final in 8 hours, I just wrote this.
Seeping In
In the silence of my thoughts
a quiet ticking of my watch
I can hear the seconds ticking by.
The solemn siler's waning cry
averts my eyes, with fear of focus
my spine, it fizzles, cracks and pops.
I'm shutting down for good, I'm sure
but somehow I embrace it.
The dark of night seeps in around me
a crack of white sunlight breaks free
on my wall cast shadows number three
my own, a chair, below a tree.
The slightest wind rumbles the boughs,
the lip of darkness falling down.
My floor is where it makes its home
and I lay there, where light can't reach.
My bones, they crack and pop as I
awake from slumber, open eyes;
I find myself a place to hide
from the advancing of the spectral tide.
But the light, it is invasive,
and I find that I am bathed in light,
so I stand to greet the raging sun
with no fear that it will burn me.
