Zero Days

When I have zero days - a chill fills the hearth, earth-pillow’s under my moan; hushed hallways. Of zero hours - can’t hear them pray, the silent tone devours. The tick - seconds to own… sick. My soul follows the blaze. Unlatch the pearly gate - milestone click. 4/8/2022

You seem afraid of zero days. Think of it as a bridge. There is bliss there. Hugs.

Very well written, Kim:) p.s: the last stanza should be made up of lines from the previous three ones...
