Sleep.
I awake,
suddenly
choking.
The smoke;
it causes
my lungs
to collapse.
I just
heard a bird.
It sounded as if
it was perched
on my arm-
I froze;
my eyes,
dry and
bloodshot,
as every
little noise
frightens me.
I sleep
more
and more.
I shut down
more
and more.
Sleep.
I awake,
suddenly
choking.
The smoke;
it causes
my lungs
to collapse.
I just
heard a bird.
It sounded as if
it was perched
on my arm-
I froze;
my eyes,
dry and
bloodshot,
as every
little noise
frightens me.
I sleep
more
and more.
I shut down
more
and more.
Sleep.
