Sleeplessness '83

Murmers in the distance
silence from the street
ticking of the timekeeper
disallowing sleep

Drums of rain off rooftop’s tin
creeping into mind
trying desperately to rest
but peace is hard to find

In this noisy, but silent, lonely room
the plants feed off the light
which you fixed so easily
.... I wish you could fix the night
