numb uncertainty

Even my sighs
now sound rehearsed -
like a dehydrating
expression of something

I don't know.

I lay with no comfort
and no speech within my head.
A dead chest
filled with cold iron rods.

A thought disappears,
similar to my words
when I spew on my numbness.

My bones ache
with a stench of sadness.

I don't know.
