Stasis
By Joe Wells
Yet again
the clock ticks—
my head
pulsates,
silence resonates
in an empty
chest.
Restless,
paralyzed
I lay,
sedating
my idle
to rest.
Of course,
I’ve heard
what they all say.
After each night
there’s always
another day!
Oh well,
a tomorrow
must come again.
And, I shall spend it
breath by breath,
in mundane. . .

A real nicely rendered piece that makes the case for what some call “the gray calm.” Thanks for sharing it. HGL
Thank you, HGL.
