closed eyes open

closed eyes light trapped
beats to some rhythm
with no sound
thud of the car door
cat sits and waits for my next move
closed eyes for a reason
digging darkness
like a good movie
or a song with all the words memorized

closed eyes recite the number
she remembers standing out in the crowd
closed eyes made the call
from far off now
returns in the mind one night
closed eyes sleep easier now
for some reason not as lonely
closed eyes not necessarily sad ones
time spent emptying the mind
of a days paid distraction
what's important

closed eyes can see from close up
someday soon it might make sense
roll over closed eyes
open and it's sunrise...
