WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT
by Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal
For now I sit here,
Well after midnight,
Striking the keys for
All I can give.

I sleep less and less,
Well after midnight,
I am familiar
With the house sounds,

The hum of the fridge,
The song of the crickets,
The drip from the bathtub
Faucet.  They keep me
Company, well after
Midnight has come round.
