It moves side to side
Up and down
Black is it’s color
Sitting out on the ice
Being hit around
Fast it travels
Hard it hits
Silent I stand
Waiting for it to come to me
Down I dropped
Deflected it came
My guard shatters
Black is all I see
When I wake I see people
People I don’t know
“Can you breathe”
Can I breathe? What is that
Black is all I see again
Awake now and no one around
To a mirror I walk
Scared by the black mark on my neck
I collapse
A week later no mark is left
Nothing is different
Life continues and the little black object
Keeps coming towards me
