Nighttime Songs
(Reborn's POV)
Crickets
They chirp all around
Sing
My green binoculars
View
Inside
The quiet house
Lonely
Two people sit inside the kitchen
It's night
Dinnertime
They sit in silence
Mother talks
Boy nods
Silence
The dishes go in the sink
Mama cleans
The boy trudges up the stairs
Drags
A hand scratches his scalp—
Time to change my location.
Inside the room
Eyes
Glued
On the Television
Mama yells the time
TV turns off.
Time to sleep.
3 hours
The crickets still sing
The moon sings too
Empathically
The downstairs back door opens
Pajamas
Boy:
He walks onto the deck
He lays
His eyes distant
The crickets and moon sing
My binoculars shift
Leon—beloved pet
He feels the pain too
The moon and crickets do too
I do too
"I wish there was more to me than 'no-good' Tsuna"
The crickets sing
The moon sings
I leave
We shall meet tomorrow, Sawada Tsunayoshi
