hours of darkness

when the night hangs heavy around your neck
the blackness coiling, an easy tightening of panic.
when sleep has fled and the last drops of peace
have long since evaporated.

each breath an ocean pulled across buried continents and
every memory a past that might have been.

do not lose your prayers to oblivion
give them to one you might touch
only flesh can save you
