HALF OF THIS AND THAT

 

 

 

 

Midnight has a voice.

A calling for those searching,

unable to rest with anxious feet

crossing streets

trying to but not finding

that second chance.

 

Midnight is the thin slice

of between yesterday and today.

It’s half of this

and the start of that.

 

Some fear the straight up hands

of midnight, reminding them of

something surrendering,

maybe themselves, without a fight

to shadows and whispers.
