waking up at 2 a.m.

i am a moth
trapped inside
an upturned glass jar
screeching for help
yet no one hears me.
fluttering to get out
yet no one sees me.
no one soothes
this panic
no one understands
this feeling
of being trapped.

tossing and turning
in this unearthly hour
sleep becomes
another distant lover.

When this moth envisions what can be outside this jar, what does it see?
