Midnight comes and goes




Midnight comes and goes I am awake
I wonder
Who else is in their bed
not sleeping
How many of us are there
in this past-midnight
wanting sleep
remembering songs that remind us
we loved someone
We were loved
singing to ourselves in the dark
beneath our CPAP masks
Breathe in breathe out
adjust

"All the Miles," Sandra McCracken
