on moonlit nights
concrete beds and
pillows of flora sing
songs
empty cold winds beg
company
starlight's wingspan
warm, maternal
and cooing that shares that
macabre bedtime fairytale love
a silence that has become
a wool-knit cap of late
hours,
smoke,
bitter drink
an excuse really,
for desperate wandering
and the freedom to stand still
pacing stagnant
shallow grey rainwater neighbor waves
nods
the choice, holistic,
to breathe and live
or sigh and think,
be a man--
adult--
problem-solve;
industrial
untrimmed grass,
the words of a friend
the gate's rusted
repeat a tired fantasy tune
with all the time in the world,
just enough to waste
to search for answers or for self
bundle up
the alarm is set.
