I’ve heard a ringing in my ears
The past few days
Around the same time each day
I wonder
If it is alarm bells
Frantically going off
In the fog inside my brain
Because there was no warning
About the rocks at the forefront of my subconscious
No light, no sound, no nothing
And maybe the boats were coming
Carrying supplies to fix my dilapidated lighthouses
But the fog is so deep
And gray and endless
I wonder if it would even make a difference
To fix them
Still I hear ringing
Maybe the boats knew
This was a suicide mission
And they instead brought bombs on board
Intending to hit the rocks
And blow up every one
And blow up my lighthouses too
Blow up everything
And then
My mind would be blank
The waters would be still
The world would be quiet
I think I’d like that

I genuinely did have a ringing in my ears
