Silent Worry

When the yellow fan quiets 
the still night creeps forward
the panic of midnight arrives.

The crickets can't carry 
a tune built on nothing
The moss fresh with dew can't help thrive.

I wonder 'till morning
I knew you before
The etchings my brain fascinates.

I pace fast and fury,
I wonder, I worry
My love is decideably late.
