Insomnia (12/10/2018)

Faces obscure themselves in the light
And reveal themselves in the dark.
Beneath the cold sun I drift,
Somnambulant in my meandering,
Through the crowds of unseeing scrutinisers.

My mind is in my mind,
A fragmented echo of something once truly fearful,
Retracting and rescinding infinitely into itself.
Time changes its speed and I am lost,
At the mercy of the "real world".

Eluded have we been,
Those of us who are woken from a night awake
By the visions of the unconscious
That our cohabitants have been privy to.
And so, to compensate, our days become dreams.
