three.

Amidst the mess of sleep and sweat I am beginning
to understand there is no quiet here.
The whispering of windowsills,
hums mmms ahhhs murmur lights;
gentle electric ostinato to my breathing.
Slow, helpless breath
and eyes that focus too long
on smooth surfaces
that leave no room for shadow.
