Involuntarily
December 16, 2013
Footsteps pounded one by one down the hall in slow time.
At sudden impulse they violently shuffled to the side of my bed.
Exhales of breath misted a haze of warm moisture on the cold of my face.
Hands grabbed me and stuck finger prints on the skin I lay in
Pieces of conversation shredded the silence of the room
How are yous beating in my hearing
Hellos come resonating in my head
And I said things that were silent
My eyes stayed shut
Involuntarily
And I rested
Involuntarily
