Read by Jodi Egerton
Behind closed eyelids…
She is an astronaut
Walking on the moon,
Astonished by the lightness
Of her steps.
She is the lone survivor
Of a zombie apocalypse
Alone and scared, but determined.
She is from a time past,
A maid giggling in private
Over the horrid remarks of her lady
And refusing to let her fire
Be diminished.
She is herself,
Traipsing through the poem
And falling back into reality
Every time she wakes up.
