You close your eyes,
you can sleep on the couch,
no problem…
Sleep
Forgot what I was doing
it was
or was not sleeping…
Turn off the lights
before you fall asleep…
5 conversations swirling around me,
4 chambers in my brain…
my almost asleep consciousness
is a scary place to be…
Last night I thought of an experimental poem….
forget sleep, we are
the unending…
I’m messed up,
I don’t deserve…
tell me everything
is going to be okay,
I believe your brain….
yesterday I woke up
with the remnants
of my dream clinging
to me like sleep…
