There was a soft green glow
that read "4:00am".
It was a burning reminder.
He had no place to go.
That blinking colon
mirroring two zeros;
mirroring his pupils
blinking away 'til his life's end
Each second reflected his inability
to face reality with a semblance of tranquility
He was shaking.
Fearful of the sun rising.
The sunlight brought truth.
He didn't know who he was or what he was going to do.
