eyes peel open
my nostrils tingle
as the smells of soil and sweat
permeate the air
the heat is unbearable
breathing shallow
movement restricted
I only wish to wipe the sleep
from my eyes
*who would prevent me
such a simple request?*
anxiety billows for
a brief moment
surrendering complacently
as the frequency of
my rising chest
slows
I sense my sightless eyes
dimming
resting shut
I am so tired...
