Not a good time…

/ Kait King


Inky black,
I’m sucked back
down to
her darkest depths
Like an octopus
her story wraps me
in its tentacles
A stranglehold
on stories told
and the ink
she has spread across
the page I
can’t see through

I think I’m drowning
It’s sticky black
and I should come up
for air
even though
my mouth
is open
to suck grace in –
nothing fills my lungs
even though
my eyes are open
there is nothing –
nothing but darkness
inky blackness
the colour of
the story told
with the pain of
being buried
alive

  6. You should ensure that the types, patterns and colours of the sofas blend properly with the color
    and patterns about the walls in the room. When buying a good sleeper sofa bed,
    one vital factor is its frames. One of them is often a complete sofa, the other will probably be
    the 2 seat love chair.

    In many styles, you are able to fix the sides in the sofa
    at different angles, from horizontal for sleeping, to slightly angled
    to read by or watching TV. Changing your old sofa could be
    the exact same as therapy of aged plastic covering that’s dangling on your lounge lamp for state,
    Five years.

    • Thank you! 🙂 That is a cool-sounding word – ‘specially if you slightly roll the ‘r’and black is always a good word to know for a writer of murder and darkness, no matter the language, so thank you for sharing! 🙂
