How To Be Numb

Instructions for this hour: First,
rid your mind of all thoughts. Pretend you feel

the world closing in; the sun losing all shine. Love leaving your soul
Your family going away forever. Your heart is slowly losing all life.

Second,
pretend darkness fills your mind; you can’t see
Your body will not move
Yet something starts moving it into darkness
You are in a box and you cannot escape

Then,
Remember the continuous stings your enemies left on your life
that made your heart
dead
to
the
touch
of
Love.
