In this spoken word poem, Solomon describes the painful process of waking up throughout the night.

It wakes up.
Night air burns it’s lungs.
In and out. Exhale.
Just exhale.
Stop holding it in.

Memories of happiness dance on the walls.

Up and down. Exhale.
Stop holding it in.
Suddenly
He becomes me.
I try and forget these dreams.
Lingering longer in my half awaken half being.
The faucet dripping teaches me I’m alive.
Keep the refrigerator full in cause you stop by.
Sleep with the ringer turned up high.
In case you reply
And how I missed you Wild Horse
Helping me get through the day
Will I see you when I retreat into my dreams Wild Horse?
Cause in my lucid state I know you’ll stay
