is this thing on?

in the inexorable
time it takes,

for

late night

crumpets

to toast,

i’d all but expired.

little more
than a practice ghost

Poetry isn't my strong point, I must admit, but there's something short and sweet that I like about this. I must confess I don't entirely get it (I never do with poetry), but I just thought I'd let you know I read it and enjoyed it.

Thank you, that's very kind. It was an attempt to encapsulate one of those late night, alone moments. Waiting for something...and yet waiting for nothing.
