knock knock
I hear it at night
I hear it when nobody else is in sight

tick tock

I hear it all day

it’s in my head and its counting the time
until we all-

take stock:

5 things I see

3 things I hear
who could that be?

a hawk? I see:
the end is near.
someone, or something, is waiting too near

squawk

no one can hear.

now it’s perched on my shoulder
October gets colder

I'm fighting this figment
it isan omen
it’s warning me that it will seize all my moments

its talons are sharp and digging inside
I’m bleeding, crying,
they push me aside

tick tock

1 hear it all day

it’s in my head and its counting the time
until we all
