Impending night and some wistful, melancholy thoughts...
V-----------------------------------------------------------------------------V
Day's receding, only little light's left. Seems like weeks without proper rest…
Our dingy motel room, the TV's on, though neither of us watch it. In the next bed, my brother twitches in his sleep.
Shadows grow, impart ominous airs to the enclosing night.
I should be dreaming, or planning or scheming- anything but this futile ruminating over shadows…
Wonder where he is right now, what strange entities flitter through that troubled place behind his eyes.
Useless conjecture, as he'll never say.
Desperately, I long for sleep, for that trust we once had, for our fierce protectiveness never to fade…
