in shades of the city;
Traffic lights and neon
color the darkness.
A man ducks into a corner bar

I toss and turn, but
sleep won't come
to one who is tormented
by the past, by the
demons that won't let go;
I want to rise up,
make coffee, clean something,

of living and loving;
Old toys packed away, teddy bears peeping out from
their boxes,
books from every crisis we've endured all the way . . .

We sit here, across from one another
like hundreds of times before,

locked away
in the prison of your despair;
