Nocturnal Mind



Nocturnal Mind

Like a machine 
My veiny right hand
Programmed 
Possessed 
At lonely hours 
Between midnight and dawn 
I come alive. 

Pen and paper 
I come alive. 

Coffee and silence 
Harmonize 
Not a sound to be heard 
Except some crickets chirping 
And some street dogs barking. 

Like a finger on a trigger 
Bullets escape 
This mental gun inside my head 
Executing lyrical labor 
As thoughts race through 

My nocturnal mind.
