Apes Strong Together

The phone wakes me an hour after falling asleep
A cool wet night, and it's so quiet
That I wake lost again
She served as a point of reference
During moments like this, but that was before
And now, for me, the light is out.

There are no stars to steer by, so we drift
And make the best of the fact that we are afloat.
It's so quiet here.
I'm thinking of my boy watching
War For The Planet Of The Apes
And the empathy in the eyes of those monkeys.
