A Minute Before the Stroke of 11:60 P.M.

by Stinky - Aries

Sitting
Pondering
Watching nothing
Insomnia reigns
No movement
Absolute
Motionless
A sudden breath
Tricks death
A lone raindrop
Pings the rustic tin roof
Screaming
Through the silence
And bringing companions
Alerting me
Out of an
Idiotic gaze
Suddenly
An unwelcome noise
Pierces my heart
Pained 
I look up.
11:60 P.M.

Reason for writing:

    No real inspiration, just kinda had a vision of this old guy sitting in a chair, cant sleep, at a minute before midnight.
