A Constricting Slumber

A constrictor is wrapping itself around my chest
compressing my heart
like a bored cat
clenching its crawls around its prey.
It pulls tighter and tighter -
But not tight enough to cut my breath away.
I think I shall suffer for the rest of my days.

But oh - I am just human.
And even a human
needs to sleep from time to time.
Go on, go and fall asleep.
Let the tiredness succeed.
Go on, close your eyes and fall -
into an everlasting slumber.
