one time i woke up alone
and it was cold-
-er than ice
the air
held its breath
and my own
suffocated
as it escaped
frozen lips
s i l e n t
i woke up with
the inside of my head
and the outside of my heart
s

out
onto the hard cot and
it was like
i was screaming
silent w h i t e screams
in my misery
alone.
but then someone came
with a warm blanket
wrapped it around me
gave me a warm mug of
tea
and also
a black
box
so i threw everything away
and the box was
heavy, but i
haven't seen it since
i wrapped myself tighter
under the blankets
retreated back
with my
steaming tea
and i couldn't see anyone
but
i could feel
His gentle stroke on my cheek
as i breathed
softly
back
to
sleep
