can’t sleep.
it’s brightening up the sky,
almost feels like early morning.
I can hear the sound of ice
cracking on my fire escape
carefully tiptoe,
not to wake up the neighbors.
the heating is hot
too hot,
like a boiling summer night.
beneath
take a leap
swim like raindrop
free like a bird
quietly
lightly
fall into the white mattress of you
so I can sleep again .
