Static vibrations envelope
Sticking between the spaces of nothing
The heat of the night curls around
Leaving damp blankets kicked away
A sipped glass of water
Dries cracked lips
Licked by the desire of familiarity
Open windows pool curled fabric
To the stained pits of a frayed rug
Beyond flickers luminosity
Dulled by the cobweb of time
The streets wander in curlicues
Cul-de-sacs playpens abandoned
To the shelter of the night
