Midnight Snack

i like this quiet time of night

when mother melody has put all those fears to bed

tucked them in for a long night’s rest

the only sound is the shuffling of my own feet

scooting across the carpet

making my way to the kitchen for a late-night snack

 

i miss you

 

the traffic keeps me company

cars full of late-night prowlers searching for redemption

or tacos

perhaps they are lost like me

wondering around thinking of you

i was once redeemed by a soft shell

 

i miss you

 

then these hours melt away

morning finds me asleep at the wheel

hungry and without you
