the quiet

one

two

three

four

stop, please

i can’t breathe

angry red crescent moons

in my palms

deep breaths

it’s okay, i’m okay now

eyes shut tightly

stop seeing

stop remembering that night

stop stop stop

the world moves so slowly

unfeeling

hush now

the quiet after the storm

lingers

on and on

when will it end?
