sometimes i write
for no purpose
but to write
and the night runs long
when i dont sleep

sometimes i write
claustrophobic
thoughts out of my head
so that i can give
calm a chance

sometimes i write
but sometimes
the writing writes me
or, the fingers
detach from

the restless brain.

sometimes i night-write
the dense dark
shaping letters
into words

hints of black night
on a page that is white

sometimes i write
