So Tired


Shut down.
Slip into
a shallow slide
under your sternum.
hide in a corner.
unseen, and
unheard,
if you breathe slowly
enough
so that
no one will know.
sigh under the stars.
those heavenly
embers attracting
and soothing
as they die their radiant death
before the swirling
tendrils of smoke
snuff out.

-just one of those days, surrounded by people, work, and noise.  Too tired to feel in the end.  Tomorrow is another day!

  4. how intensely i know this feeling:

    hide in a corner
    unseen
    unheard
    if you breathe slowly
    enough
    so that
    no one will know.

    when i feel like this, i have only one image in my head: lying in grass, yet floating above the world, eyes closed, until i fade away into calmness...
