Part V · Breath
Nothingness
i awoke to no sound,
pure nothingness.
& felt free.
for the first time my own thoughts couldn’t find me. they searched every room, they brushed up against me, & kept going.
i laid there feeling the weight of the sheets.
the warmth of morning.
the rise & fall of my breath.
it was strange.
nothing needed me.
i never thought peace would sound like nothing.
