Locked Yawp Poem by Hein Tay Za

Locked Yawp

The moment when everything has stopped,
But, tears don't fall, not even a single drop.
Mind crumbles when lies are tangled, then thoughts will murder.
Since the storyline's improv, who knows who will be the victim of sudden fall-off.

Functional — the routines are done without soul,
Clock hand moves on surface, yet deep down there is a toll.
After late May, touching with nothing made him whole,
Alone he drifts in silence, finding quiet healing as his goal.

The sky fits with uncry fog lift,
A pale blue sky turns into foolish blind.
The sky knows should this last, he will die bound in chaos' rhyme.
To not get fucked, all he needs is one YAWP.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Locked YAWP came out of a space where everything felt paused—where life kept moving, but I didn't. It's about the quiet kind of chaos, when the mind twists in its own lies and silence feels heavier than noise. The images of fog, broken time, and drifting alone came naturally, because that's how it felt. The word YAWP is my release—a raw shout against being swallowed by routine, lies, and inner collapse. It's messy, it's loud, and it's necessary. This poem isn't about perfect healing, but about the moment you refuse to stay locked. — Cookie
