nox
there is nothing quite as suffocating as a night sky.
that timeless swagger to the edge of wherever, a
night sky is still pitch in the daylight, the god of
shuteye and prayer, alarm clocks and whatever is
under the bed. nox is the land of bored whispers,
self-created tedium littered with specs of hope. some
origin story explosion that settled into indifference.
i would like to stop repeating myself to the stars.
This poem was written around 3:32 am after waking from a dream where everything disappears.
