Straight and Tall

Their steps felt above
Water leaks
The breeze gets between the sheets
We catch the sun
Look toward the moon
Alight the flame
Inhale the night

Sleepless hour

The day grows long and
Loneliness creeps under your skin
The smell of newspaper wraps around your fingers
And eyes keep focusing on the markings
From your story
That gets told everyday
You are the writer
