Hollow Deep by P D Dawson

Hollow Deep

Sleep swallows darkness

Framed pity dubiously blind

And I cannot wake

These mountains

Breath travels lightly

An unremarkable restraint

And I cannot reach

These dragons

Blood curdles morning

Clocks border upon lateness

And I cannot dream

These moments

Time swallows daylight

Elephants sit on my brow

And I cannot imagine

These eyes
