Unwelcomed Night

Clock points at 6 o’clock
Written articles left behind
Descending the lighted stairs
Into the loading area I go

Standing by the pavement I wait
Cold glass of steel on my back
Fields of rice I see in the distance
Light of day fades on the hill

Shuttle chugs around the bend
Board the bus my feet propel
See of faces on their seats
Squeezed myself to fit

Opening my room
I lay down to sleep
Sliver of lights flicker by
Cars race down the h-way

Twist & turn I go
Elusive sleep so far
Shadows lengthen & fade
Mind churning, unending

Moment pass by
Morning kiss the panes
Tired eyes open, blink
Day begins turning
