Night Inspired

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Candled flicker

awoke to the sound of metal trash can hitting the concrete curb.
I stretched and opened a window.

opened the paper today and checked the obituaries to see if I was listed.
I was not and I bit into a potato chip.

logged onto the internet to check to see if anyone was looking for me.
I made note.

turned off the light and took a sip of water to quench my dried throat.
I closed my eyes and yet they were wetter still staining the pillow.


Reprise.
