Rest
There is a desire, a deep desire to rest
to wash off yesterday from the deepest corners of my mind.
I want to fold my thoughts and keep them aside
until they seem bearable, a little less heavier
my spine has been drowning in the weight of them.
I have forgotten what rising up feels like
I have forgotten what the warmth of the light feels on my eyes.
There is a deep desire to rest
to sing a slow song to my mind and finally put it to sleep.
