Elucidating Questions

Help me, whispered into the darkness of the night by a voice too tired to continue and not saying stop but saying I can’t take it.

Save me, tears slipping down faces and they say tears are something men don’t have, but if no one has felt this way then they cannot say, and the eyes so tired they burn, do something anything,

Just save me.

Hand over mouth and nose, pulled and beaten.

A sneaking thing into the night, a true beast, the upsidedown man upsidedown.

The falling towers, the town, what is there where the hawk who is a bear,

A safe day in the chaos.

Do you ever hear me, I wonder?
