floating around like bees
buzzing sounds
heavy traffic
one light flickers
sleepless cities
bouncing off the walls like birds on a tree
flying from one place to the next
silence.
in the deep deep night,
silence.
morning sun
to light the day
your eyes and mine
sleepless
sleepless
sleepless
moving slowly from place to place
heavy.
birds chirping
babies crying
buzzing
buzzing
around and around
among us
loud.
louder now
but oh so quiet

floating around like bees
buzzing sounds
heavy traffic
one light flickers
sleepless cities
bouncing off the walls like birds on a tree
flying from one place to the next
silence.
in the deep deep night,
silence.
morning sun
to light the day
your eyes and mine
sleepless
sleepless
sleepless
moving slowly from place to place
heavy.
birds chirping
babies crying
buzzing
buzzing
around and around
among us
loud.
louder now
but oh so quiet
