Peer


Black satin covers drapping over me

I push away, but the

Layers upon layers only suffocate me more

 

Deep trenches of black

Blind opportunities to 

Seek further in finding my footsteps 

 

Forests of black trees 

I sink further into the hands

Of Earth, inching further down

 

My eyes fall closed 

Through the satin covers

The Trenches and Forests

 

I peer into what I have left

The soul of the mind 

And seep into fantasy
