Sleepless Night

The clock chimes past midnight
There are no more footsteps
Of scruffy old covens,
'Cos they're already gone
Out, for a night clubbing

Smoke comes out from tube
Billows in small rings
Makes my little cube
Like a chimney thing

I feel the still
Of lonely night
So I turn on
My only toy

To treat out
Senseless thoughts
With poetry

Till eyes
Caught a

Sleep
