Night Owl

I think I’m a night owl

after spending much time trying to be a morning lark.

Rising late and staying up early,

the sun blinks awake before I sleep.


I think I’m a night owl

comforting dark sheets of night,

swathing in loneliness—

me, myself, and I.


I think I’m a night owl

aching to change

but comfort finds me before the morning,

light poured like orange juice at noon.


I miss the morning.
