Insomnia

So, last night was just one of those nights where you can't sleep.
And this is the result

Orion rising,

Resplendent in silence.

No cars

No sounds of life in the still night air

Except the distant trains,

The long slow rumble of a freighter

The staccato click-clack of the overnight express

And so it remains

Until the east brightens

And Orion fades.

And I try

Once again

To sleep
