air raid
a sadness hit upon me
laying in bed at 11:59am
the air raid siren wailing
the clearest i have ever heard it
in my cave of a room
so clear
as if i could hear its tone
as if it was saying
YOU LOSE
YOU WASTED ALL THAT TIME
YOU ARE A VICTIM OF HISTORY
i could feel the skin
tingling
as the seconds passed
12:00:10
12:00:20
12:00:30
and the most insignificant thing
a weekly ritual
a small thing that we had for one another
a thing to appreciate between us both
was not there.
