at the edge of dawn

Bookmark

I no longer sleep
I linger
in the silence of what is
and whatever comes next

somewhere between forgettin and feelin
I’ve painted myself
in strokes midnight and dawn
colors that no one ever asked for
on pages no one really wants

the ink runs dry
then floods the page
I drown
I thirst
then drown again
it bleeds out truth
even when I’ve begged it not to

I reach for the stars
not to hold them
just to feel somethin
on my fingertips
somethin bright
for once
that won’t leave a mark

I rarely search for answers
just quiet
just stillness
just a moment
where I don’t feel like slippin

in a world that doesn’t pause
but I do
right here
in the soft moments
just before the sun
where the ink settles
and for a breath
so do I
