Untitled - May 4, 2001

Midnight comes and passes with
the silence of a creeping cat.

There is no mark that 
echoes the fleeting image
of night crossing into day.

The single light seems lonely
in the doorway 
as if waiting for its darkness
across the other side.

The low hum permeates the room
as a casual knock
against the door
disturbs the silence 
of the soft breathing
heard within.
