Click and whirl
Pushing around the heavy warm air.
Whirling, a low hum
attempting to cool my
sweaty weary body.
The useless fan bearing witness to a desire to sleep.
Snores and murmurs from the
form next to me
Oblivious to my longing, blood boiling,
anger rising at the ease in which sleep has
found them.
Temporary solace found in the cool side of the pillow
lulling me to oblivion.
Pushing around the heavy warm air.
Whirling, a low hum
attempting to cool my
sweaty weary body.
The useless fan bearing witness to a desire to sleep.
Snores and murmurs from the
form next to me
Oblivious to my longing, blood boiling,
anger rising at the ease in which sleep has
found them.
Temporary solace found in the cool side of the pillow
lulling me to oblivion.
