Wee Hours

In the wee hours,
a thin grey hope
filters through the window.
I clean myself
to thoughts of intimacy;
I dress myself
to a tune of regret;
I tie my shoe
to longing.
To the mirror I am
a small, frail, bad-shape
     boy, who is
not enough to do
what is believed
     to be needed.

A poem by Jon Jenkins
