That Sleepless Hunger

That sleepless hunger for the night,

Those thoughts which keep me up.

Suspicious of sleep.

Will the curtains open again? 


That must live, must think,

Survival staccato of insomnia thought,

That the cloying insistence of dreams 

cannot stifle.


Is there time to tell the tale?
