night.
the dark quiet which ought to promise warmth and comfort,
but which more often than not brings with it
the sounds of a settling stomach
and the restless thoughts of a frustrated heart.
night.
which has become a cold and hazy thing
behind which the moon refuses to burn.
night.
an empty well offering no echo
when curiosity speaks into it.
night.
the lonely desert I find myself in
time and again
like a burnt out match
who dreamed of the sun
too soon.
