Sleepless Night

It was hot.
The hot that sticks to your skin
To your hair
To your pillow.
As I tossed and turned,
It became evident that sleep
Had eluded me that night
So I clumsily adventured to my window.
Pressed my fingers to the wire mesh
The screen popped right out
And…


Just sat on my roof.
Just sat and watched the night pass.
Then I saw it!
I saw the first brilliant wish maker
Soar across the sky.
I watched the metros
Pour from the sky
With bright light trials following them all
It turned out to be a beautiful night
To not sleep
