Concavity
March 7, 2015
The metronome of numbers
Drags me from my sleep.
Increasingly urgent thoughts
Tell me to
Remember.
My hands explore, reach for
Protrusions of bone under skin.
Flat is insufficient;
I strive for concavity.
Wisps of memories
From happier days
Drift back to haunt me.
I realize that
I’ve never been so afraid
Of something meant
To keep me
Alive.
