argus
there’s a
killer in my bed murderer of
sleep he will not take his
rest until he has slain all my
dreams my own worst enemy stalks between my sheets darkness softens the edges of the
world the universe expands my
mind dilates too the day begins at
midnight and I begin with it maybe
I sleep when I’m not looking but I
am looking now and I can’t sleep
for thinking how many times have I
written these words? how many
ships have I knowingly scuppered?
my oasis of calm is becoming a
nightmare but I wander on enslaved by the night hold me close now bring me some comfort kiss both my eyes send me some sleep out in the dark there are people
drowning their stars burn too
bright to bring them any peace I’m pounding out words as if they were lifeboats god save our souls we’re in this too deep
