Day 8 by bound_4_freedom

Eight

Can’t sleep
My night fades into
The bright numbers
Of a digital clock

I make coffee
Which at this time of night
Feels good
As it slowly
Rolls down my throat

Beginning
With a single thought
Ten thousand follow
Thoughts
That make no sense at all

All the while
I stare
At the brightness
Of a digital clock
And suddenly realize

The number eight
Is brighter
Than any other number... In the darkness

And I am left to wonder which digit the 8 appears in. I like how you've personalized that number, bright and stark as you lay or drink of your coffee.
