Sound

That of an institution when

You are alone with it

Noice

Buzzing, Humming, Wailing

No human

Only space

Halls, Walls, Whiteness

Void

Of skin and heat

 

Hold me while I exhale

She says

Tell me everything is going to be OK

Reply, Explain

Nothing is ever OK

You still matter

Inhale

Look out that window and see

A bird
