Up Late

4AD62842-23EE-43C1-B667-EC4BACF29B03

Writing by the glow of my laptop

drifting, dozing, losing track of time

like being in a dream

or waking within one

darkness like mayhem

my thoughts somewhere lost—

I gaze at the pale, thin slice of crescent moon

tipping

  dripping

   over the edge

a character stirring my imagination

speaking to me— yes

reminding me to redress the morning with the assurance of soft, ever-present light.
