After Midnight

by Melissa   Oct 21, 2008


If sorrow is sunless
then I'm after midnight
when all the pitter patters
of suburbia
have tucked themselves
between dreams

tis then that I smoke cigarettes
with ghosts
who dawdle about my fingertips
a sooty fog
of metrical exhaustion
that will soon dispel
just like you
and me
