The sky beneath our feet

mid-covid war. an exhausted nurse sleeps on the hospital floor

tears in the darkness
from somewhere behind it

the one-eyed doll opens her dark red lips for a scary smile — nearer and nearer — I can feel her breath at my cheeks and the only eye makes me wait like a rabbit for the badger


Zoomzeman's fiddle tones
while our rocket
flies past the moon
