one of those dark moments
sleepless: he sits at the edge of the bed
and worries.

the days of scribbling dreams
are coming to an end
in those last and curious hours when
flamboyant life retreats,
running from the structure
of falling jungle trees -
when paradise is captured
and the princess is released
and the ordinary soldiers are
simply turned away.

he sits without coughing
sleepless: in darkness, no words.
