Sleep
thoughts float
sluggishly
in the still air
fatigue circles
then curls
and settles
drowsy, heavy weight
of slow breath
Some wonderful verses Alice, I had no idea you were talented in this way.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Petty. I used to write a lot of poetry - I even took a degree in it. But then I encountered an enormous writer's block.
