Frozen

Sadness heaves
inside me,
waves of
rolling sickness

Weight has
found a home
in the midst
of my brow, and
in the corners of
my downturned mouth

Spaces flooded
with blackness
Concrete over
springing joy,
sucking away
momentum

And I am
frozen
in time.

“Weight has found a home in the midst of my brow” – powerful image, Nillu.
