Quiet Company

The night sky
an ocean of ink
suspended by strings.

Hours tick away
like parking meter clocks
counting down.

A bitter chill
howls through the window,
icy jet streams
carry my thoughts
like migrating birds--
my blood feels heavy,
grounded.

I try to find some peace,
try to find some quiet
but the clock is ticking.

I wish I knew
how to take these things apart.
