"sleepwalk streets"

at 4 am
i drift out
of your tired apartment

into a strange comfort
in the sleepwalk streets
maybe it's in the way
it's so still
it's so quiet
and my pace is so loud
and it seems like
like i'm the only one awake

if i listen closely
the streets burst
they wail
and i'm the one who hears it

i slip and sleep as i walk
