Crickets sound in night
The hum of faraway cars
Greets my windowsill

Lanterns give off light
That blocks the sky full of stars
Some street cats quarrel

The air feels too tight
The hour like metal bars
Night too hot and still

Can't sleep 'cause I'm ill

They don’t hold your heart like I do.
They can’t.
They’re just standing in my grave.

Body's heavy-rock
Mind's scattered all over
Bring me inner peace

behold the silent gift
to feel any lone soul roar
deeper than before
