Late Night TV

I cannot sleep
Late night television
Horrific train wreck
115 in the shade
Mangled landscape
Unnatural peaks & valleys claw at the noonday sky
They speak a language I cannot understand, no connection
Confusion, chaos
Lamentations, intense prayer fills the air like incense, weighing it down
Pressing into my eyes until I can no longer focus
Echoes haunt the alleyways
I saw death walking away, fat, gluttonous, obese
Content, as doves fell from the sky around him
Commercial break
It’s off, but the static remains in my head
I cannot sleep
