I'm ready
Eyelids dropping like waterfalls
On both sides of the un-cross-able
Tired tears take their toll
They roll
Switch snap flick
Light flickering
Caught in the nick
Of time
Enzyme of sleep
Not yet deep
No first or second coming
Furiously humming
A lullaby
How stars twinkle in the sky
Why can't I?...
Wrestling with not resting
Smothering duvet testing
Patience/impatience nesting
In the softness of the silk
Maybe some warm milk
Whiteness easing
The passing of time
No, it's just teasing
Doze-free crime
No falling there quickly
It's me
In my un-falling state of mind
On pillows stacked too thickly
Wanting to be
there where
I'm not
So what?
Yet
Nothing's set
All night threat
