one single light
to keep the street awake
one pale sodium light
to filter into my space
and keep me awake
countless little drops
from tonight's rain
countless little thoughts
that repeat again and again
she writes
and she calls
he bites
and he stalls
countless little drops
clinging to life on the power wires
of electrical poles
countless little hopes
singing, he aspires
to play that little role
one single chance
to feel complete
one stretched out night
to watch them sleep
