Witching Hour Bliss

sometimes at 3am, I am awake. / I open the window and drink the night. / the cold air hits my lungs like ice, / but it feels good to feel / something that isn’t pain. / I let the night flood my body, / making me whimper, / and leaving me melancholy. / but it feels good to feel / something that is better than pain. / then I close the window, / drunk on the night.
