Talking To God By a Box Fan

"TALKING TO GOD BY A BOX FAN"


hi God:

it's 3:33 in the morning and
I don't know what to do. 
everything is upside down.
there are red eyes sitting 
over the kitchen table and
they are all laughing and
eating and singing.
I haven't slept right in weeks 
and you wake me up in the 
middle of the night to write. 
I just took a pill and I'm 
waiting for it to put me down.
no one is around. 
they're out and silent. 
I have my own out and silent 
and it's in this room. 
they create a heart inside a 
man and let him sink.
I need a knock on my door 
from an old face. 
why is it when a man is soaked 
in love the rain never stops?
why is it after they create 
a heart inside a man they 
leave him to write poetry in 
bed at 3:33 in the morning?

Tonight, the mountain sky is clear. In a few hours the stars will tease me with their winks. The twilight is for your poem, and it's as enjoyable as the coming sunset!
