Heavy

Катарина Кукушкина
Fingers under my sheets.
A face under my pillow.
A heart that barely beats
Of a thing that is barely real.

Knowing I'm not asleep,
It slowly taps on my eyelids,
Then starting to weep,
Pulling my hair roughly.

The terror is ready to rise
And close its arms around me.
It wants me to open my eyes
It wants to show me something.
