Silence

No buzzing
No eyes
No daggers
No lies

Cold sheets
Warm blankets
Birds caw
Heavy eyelids

Heartbeat slows
Feelings wane
Gentle glow
Demons tame

I can see why the ordinary never break out
What could be wrong when you don’t hear a sound?
I don’t know what to do when I look all around
and can’t hear the incessant drums of war pound
