oreo

each day at 3 am
          an entity finds me 
it's a long shot i 
          know this like i 
know my breath 
          one element short 
of survival. how 
          long has it been 
will it be shorter 
          next go around 
i keep reading 
          keep searching 
i answer at times 
          but there's silence 
i click here then 
          there and it all returns 
to a silence 
          an echo that once 
a long time ago
          there was a pup i 
picked up and took home
