Weary

by Nicole Assenza

To think is to be weary
Sleeping is escape
Or elusive
As chasing a dragon
Or a green fairy
Times like this
You think
To be
Or not to be
When you’re
Doing nothing
But
Wasting time
The way fire
Makes ashes
It’s a constant anxiety
A meal of sorrows
A wheel that’s turning
Powering nothing
Your head buzzes
And it’s starving
For silence
It’s thirsty
For reply
From the abyss
But
To think is to be weary
