POETRY

I don’t cry,

I don’t yell,

I resign myself,

Watching dust gather in places once loved.

.

My eyes glaze over,

But these are not

tears,

They are

curtains,

Shielding me from the stinging nuclear outside.

.

I pray to the nothing with empty eyes,

A small, feeble voice.

Let me rest.

.

I pray to the

Nothing,

And it responds with

Nothing,

.

TV static.

.

The dust clings to my skin,

Sticky with sin.

The light flecks of nearly

Nothing,

Are heavy on my heart.

.

Turning my head,

I watch with wet eyes as the atomic draws nearer,

And I pull my little blanket of

Dust, closer.

And let it pull us towards

.

Nothing.
