midnight snow
i gazed up upon above
gentle snow lands on my face so violently
every flake carves through, piercing my skin to the bone
eradicating all familiarity of warmth
its four in the morning
the street light nailed my eyes wide open
i couldn't keep them shut either
my iris, a sole traveler limited by only my lids
so restless
so peacefully quiet ones own thought would be a whole lot louder
wonder if silence is what i desire
cheap cigarette clipped between my lips
did not bother to flick them up
i lied, i don't smoke
coffee in hand though
for all you know i could lie again
regardless i lie awake
thought i stood there for ten
should have worn my watch
the sun is present again
i should walk back in
it is another day to try again
