Waiting To Write At Night
means pulling lines from a foggy brain
via weary eyeballs, tired fingers,
down to an indistinct page.
means scrawled handwriting,
a puzzle to figure out
in the indifferent light of morning.
means trading the hopeful muse of day
for the crafty, destructive
muse of darkness.
And now: to sleep,
hoping in the morning to connect
with a version of the writer
already lost to time.
