night is bleary

i sleep all day
a fan whirring over my head
and when i don't sleep
my heart asks a simple question
without an answer.
I don't want to be called this name
I don't want to bang my bones
against this hard wet rock
anymore. But my body, oh,
lingers in the cool notes
of the fan, letting the blanket
collect me into unfathomable night.
