in the kitchen at 2 a.m.
peeling an apple in one long spiral
the way my grandmother showed me
the light stays on in the apartment across from mine
every night until 3 a.m.
I don't know who lives there
I wake to the alarm's soft glow—
another mouth opening
to swallow the quiet.
morning walk through Shibuya—
nobody sees me except
the 7-Eleven clerk
the moon is stuck between buildings again
refusing to be metaphor
just stuck
I stop at the crossing near Shibuya Station,
earbuds in, waiting for the light to change.
A woman beside me checks her phone,
under the fluorescent hum of 7-Eleven at 3am
I buy an onigiri and wonder
if loneliness tastes the same
