POEMS from SERBIA

Ana Tomic

I wake up in the night

My reptile brain starts to bite

Shadows lurk from the dark

Which song do I play to tame the beast

Behind the back room door

Only hope seizes the night

Birth of a scream

You said stay

I said leave

Bury me along the way

I don’t have time to think

I don’t have time to be

Just a cup of coffee

With broken faith for me
