my mistress of the dark

she’s here again and this time she brings gifts.

mistress insomnia, my ride or die… head throbbing, shoulders tense. covers off, breeze let in. mind is racing, home is peaceful. crickets trade posts with morning birds -and I observe the switch, a low organic buzz. heavy trucks begin to navigate to destinations diverse, traversing thru paths, gravel and dirt, some call it earth… please let me rest.
