Midnight Sickness

Melancholy eyes

Broken windows

Night Fall chills

Sore toes

Numb legs

Falling against icy sidewalks

Looking over a quiet city 

Lights flickering in the distance

The moon hidden

A cup of coffee in one hand

A scarf floating in the wind

Still

Even among darkness

Lingers the sun kiss tails of warmth and light

That remain until morning 

Crystals that sparkle with rising sun gloss

Tickling the heart like the fuzz of a baby bunny

Despite the sickness
