Abyss

Sonia Nkera, February 7, 2022

Maybe that’s what happened to my dreams

I don’t know

Maybe they died

Maybe they’re suspended in an abyss

The same abyss that withholds my sleep when I go to bed

I don’t dream

I don’t sleep

I fall into the abyss

They draw black circles under your eyes in the abyss

It’s too dark

The darkness is exhausting

It’s why I’m tired

So tired

Always tired

I carry music to bed with me

Maybe it’ll keep me from the abyss

It doesn’t

I just wake up to headsets digging in my side

The music always leaves
