there is no breeze
on this dark night
just tea grown cold
and a cat crying
in the distance
and I not immune
to that mournful sound
here
5000 miles away
from the past
but not far
from the ghosts
that haunt it
still
the night
through the night
sometimes one needs
something stronger
than lemon water
to make it
through the night
night
night
falls
regardless of how
we think
about it
