6.24.2023
Void

My scream into the darkness falls like a stone.
Swallowed up by the void,
Drowning in the blood filling my mouth,
Hiding in the spots dancing before my tired eyes.
Shaking and twitching in the horror,
The dearth of options,
Denial of choices,
So in the face of the monsters,
I shout in defiance.
All that comes out is a whimper,
Paltry defense against the twilight.
Between flood and drought,
The dust falls upon the stones,
And we rest in the soot,
Panting and hoping for help,
But we are the only heroes here,
And we are only screaming,
Into the void.
