A fly buzzes
around the kitchen
light,
it throws shadows
along the dining
room.
No other
consequence
no
sounds.
Insomnia,
the gate keeper
and the riddle.
A sickle in my mind.
Just don't read and walk away, say something. Please.

The precision of the title forecasts the bleakness to come.
I like the use of the word "consequence" here...seeming like no chance of anything happening .
the last for lines ....are a riddle in themselves....what gate is being watched, and for what purpose.
and "the sickle in my mind" is a phrase I never could have found ...but is just right.
(and nice juxtaposition of "riddle" and "sickle" ...both for their sounds, and because they are mind things.
Good stuff Johnny.
