Then the woman who couldn’t sleep
for the ache inside her ear,
who lit every light bulb in her house
until the glare outside was bright enough
to change the weather in her neighbor’s dream,
who reached up and pulled down a bulb
each time the glass of one
she laid against her ear grew cold
emptied of its light, and who waited
until she had drained each one—
the day changed back to night
behind her neighbor’s eyes—
for the deep ache to leave, couldn’t sleep
for the tips of her fingers burning.
