50 Years at 3 am

by Maple Tree   Feb 10, 2020


And even if the ghosts don't sing
their hollow echos after 3 am,
the sparrows will cry upon a branch
when thunder rolls inside my head.

I am nothing without darkness
as trees slowly decay, upon a
fortnight when tear drops slowly
travel down my blush cheeks, as
I taste the salt of 50 years.
