2010

                                        no moon tonight —
                                        nothing but cold
                                        hard earth
                                        and a backpack
                                        to lay my head on

                                        in the warmth
                                        of the morning sun
                                        no umbrella
                                        is big enough
                                        for the snowman

                                        a door slams
                                        and voices rumble
                                        down a hallway
                                        in the hotel
                                        of my insomnia

                                        the weight of stars . . .
                                        a cozy spot on the floor
                                        of the tent
                                        slowly
                                        becomes uncomfortable

                                        buzzing
                                        as if drunk from blood
                                        a mosquito
                                        bobs in the moonlight
                                        at my bedroom window

                                        cockroaches
                                        briskly shuffle through
                                        a shaft of light
                                        as if just to get a glimpse
                                        of the moon that makes it

                                        I wonder
                                        if you're in the world
                                        I'd be visiting
                                        had I been able
                                        to fall asleep tonight

                                        almost dusk —
                                        suddenly I feel
                                        a kinship
                                        with these leafless trees
                                        who are also shivering
