“Write a poem that incorporates song lyrics.” (https://www.napowrimo.net/day-eleven-13/)
I may never see the light
again. It’s a darkness
filling, brimming, overtaking
me. I saw a drawing once:
a figure bent and crushed,
huddled under clouds of violent
black lines, chaotic and heavy.
I thought: I know this.
I know what it is to
feel this. The end of
feeling. The snuffing
of light. The towering,
suffocating dark.
I know this.
I know what it is
to feel yourself
unfeeling.
