INSOMNIA
the moon sneers at me
through fluttering 
leaves
like a jaundiced eye
I turn over in bed and
wrapping my 
arms around myself
speak your name
a few blocks away
a garbage 
truck rumbles
the fan in the next room hums
a fat bug raps 
twice
against the window screen
then leaves
I unfold myself
turn 
back on my other side
there is the moon again
and I wonder
what 
makes it change color
wonder how far
