                                     ­    Offering it Up at 0200

Offering up the surging pain - but to whom?
There doesn’t seem to be Anyone there
The hissing CPAP doesn’t want to talk
Outside the window there is no good-night moon

One could allude to the clock ticking in the night-time
But there is no clock ticking in the night-time
Because there are no clocks to tick anymore
Only computers manacled to our wrists

Two-o’clock-in-the-morning courage?
Just now there seems to be no Purpose in it
