Ossian Houltzén

Bedtop Ghoul
 
The air vibrates with what isn't:
 
A pressure pushing in
hollowness inside you. Panic
 
like a rockslide poised to fall.
 
Anticipation    boiling over.
 
It’s here:
 
Absences &
could’ve-beens, a rupturing
 
silent shriek that
drowns out all.
 
Leaving only you,
your gasping brain
 
& the quiet.
