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
