Sometimes In The Night

Sometimes in the night, dark questions slither

in and out of

consciousness,

poised to

strike.

I’ve

learned not

to turn toward

them, but toward my

breath instead until their hissing ceases.

  2. Oh, I have felt that. I called them night terrors. Nothing works better than meditation, or a hug.
