Man, do I read too much bad poetry.

the darkness is blinding me
silence
the silence rings in my ears
nothing in the night
no mice move, no church chimes
awake awake and i stand at my window
and nothing rolls in

the window opens
i close my eyes but
the sound, the many sounds of trucks
force them open and i see their trails
attacking the asphalt
riding the roads
and nothing rolls on

i draw closer to the window
but it moves away
i close my ears but
the light and the stars shine in
flash and flicker and bang and gone
striding the sky
lighting below
and i roll out

closing the gap
and it moves closer
i open my mouth but
nothing comes out
and the light and the sounds
and the nothing
towards me
upon me
and done
