shoes on nowhere to go

still got my shoes on but the feet
need to rest for the night
not going anywhere
sleeping downstairs
and it’s so hot I stay awake
could be thunder
or a jet rumbling above the head
deep in the night sky darkness
short thoughts like stray heart beats
just in case I skip one or two
because of an allergic reaction
to something in the air
shorter breaths and eye lids flutter
as if to tell me something
and I am not listening
wanting to see the sun rise
three days in a row
stays with me all day long…
