Eyes Fallen Shut
By Uvi Poznansky
If my eyes fall shut, there’s no darkness around me
Walls tumble away… I’m not locked in a box
If my ears turn deaf, there’s no suffering. I’m free
Of this incessant ticking of silenced blank clocks
Cursed to wait, wait, wait still longer to dart
When someone out there releases a grip
Now I sense a slight spin… A hinge, stirring… A start
As my lid cranks, cracks, creaks open, out I slip
Ready or not, here I come… What a loud Pop!
Do I strike fear? Make your heart freeze?
Held up ever-so-briefly, how soon shall I drop
Back into oblivion, back into a squeeze?
Till I’m found again, forgotten, confined
I’ll be dreaming of you, your eyes fallen shut
