When The Morning Came
2022
When the morning came
I slept.
Curtains around me,
wrapped
around me, all
trapped.
When the evening came
I drank
the poison I had
prepared
before I was born, for the life I had
dreamt.
When the morning came
I felt
all bones, no flesh,
scratching the bed
I must have kept
as a coffin, not my own land.
