if i curl
tight enough
in the hidden
hole between
awake and asleep
i can retain
warmth
if i am
still and silent
in the soft
space between
night and day
i can feel
my body beat
i can clear
my voice and
whisper my
intentions
if i stay here,
eyes closed,
mind uninterrupted
in the comfort between
oblivion and
sensibility
i can pretend
i have not
been forgotten
i can let
time turn her
face to the sun
and close
her eyes
to the light
my loneliness
will matter
my emptiness
will be realized
this is where
i find myself
where time is
relative and
the darkness
can’t get me
