Four A.M.

sleep escapes
wrenching tides
shifting consciousness
from grey to grey
then back again

tossed
unfocused
unanchored adrift
on an oil slicked pool
of cold regret

realizations
tortured silence
longings laments
choked cries at four a.m.
aroused emptiness

and i listen

black heavy air
compressed time frozen
my cries i know
my own
my fears awoken

in love
alone
i reach for
you

where you were
