(Near) Midnight Musings Headboard
Upon a wooden plank
Stained from paint and from pain
among the empty mugs of midnight
peppermint tea
meant to keep me from sleep
next to pencils and blades
beside garbage and glass
above books
in a can
rests the ashes
of something once meant to heal
now an escape
when all others
had failed
