you awake.
the cricket
in the corner of some room.
the chirp
of a dead battery,
the eye of red blinking.
down the hall.
the past,
the future,
things long since said.
conversations
never made right.
water dripping.
the sheets tucked hard
below the mattress.
the stiff warm air.
the slow
crawl of the ceiling fan
doing little but adding to
a restless night.
