Inertia

Experience trapped in a box,

Memories motioning in a bid

To break free, silence milling

In the deafening darkness

Like crabs trying to crawl

To the sea.

In the numbness

I’m yearning for you, trying

To see your face.

It’s radiant, yet featureless,

The picture remains

Blank, and I wallow here

Alone, waiting for something

To happen.
