3.43am

"the morning is wiser than the evening" -- Russian proverb

the dawn
i'm told
has secrets to tell me

and i don't want to 
go back to sleep

and yet
there are days when the tiredness
is appealing
and warm

my eyes are too open
now
to fall back asleep

and while i don't know what
to do
i also understand
that i can be the one to 
do 
something

maybe i can be wiser in the morning
