Literature Text

i find myself blinded
by the smallest
of things –



plastic rice bowls &

a negligible soft-
drink addiction –



smudged glasses lenses

&

    too many mandarins





there are things that
act in the place of
the ideal,

quick fixes that work
longer than they were
ever supposed to.



my ceiling light is
broken – i use two
dimmer desk lamps instead.

the roof over my room
leaks during storms –
i lay old shower
curtains on the carpet.



and when 1am is the
only time i do not feel
silenced to a void
of words,

i pick up a pen, exhausted,
and tell myself


  ( this is how
    it is meant
    to be. )
This is the extended version of a poem called Between Sleep that was published in the ARNA journal this year.
