it was a late afternoon
when I opened
myself
naked and bare
to the heavens above
nobody listened
not a single deity
rescued me
the same day
that evening
when all the world
was silent and still
I prayed again
hoping that this time
someone would hear
the only voice
that was near
in between the night
and the daylight
there I would wake
in between its heartbeat
across the sky
mourning
for my own life
mourning for a death
that has not happened yet.
