Sleep

I can't sleep.
I can kind of write.


Sleep can mean a number of things
A peaceful resignation from the world
A slight dimming of the ticking time bomb
A child’s prayer for something irrational
A lover’s wish for someone better
A painful misunderstanding of reality
A lively interpretation of several long breaths
A reincarnation of friends forgotten
An artful articulation of the future in the brain
A fanciful pleasure of a kaleidoscope
A state in which you rest
A resting position in which you live
A frightened sprint away from time
A living proof of life and death
A dying breath to the living dead
A deadly wish to live life in a lively fashion
Sleep can mean a number of restless bones.

Goodnight.
