The Condition

Speak plainly,

directly.


I couldn't sleep

at such a late

hour. I'm always

waking up

thinking of ruin,

of history 

remembered

and forgotten;

wars fought 

invisibly everyday.


The way the hand

hesitates as it reaches

for the door,

fingers curved 

around the brass knob.
