In bed, seeking calm 

Tossing and turning 

trying to block out the sound of traffic 

 

Head on pillow but

mind at 100 miles an hour

racing through the list of forgotten calls and misplaced keys

 

Sometime after one, 

her thoughts move to a low hum

search engine shifts to idle 

 

Asleep beneath the watchful eyes of pilot lights
