Silence
wrapped its cloak
around my throat
and squeezed
My heart beat furiously
thoughts stampeded
down the well
falling …
falling …
falling …
Landing softly
in shallow water
I rested in cool shadow
‘til my mind calmed
and the darkness
soothed my soul
into sleep
In the morning
I became whole
again
and crawled out.
