Hello, Is The World Asleep?

Hello, Is The World Asleep?

A Poem by demureminds

Hello, hellos in the background tension,

on the other side 

of a cut telephone line,

I speak out.


But the world still sleeps,

heaving the earth

in rhythmic snores

around the world.


It pulsates, 

beating thumps and bumps

musically dancing with cosmic

dust.


Waning hours ahead of me,

I’m still the only one not sleeping,

My wondrous soul clasps my body,

pleating the seams 

deep 

into insomnia,

my crania,

still ponderous. 


Inhales of clean air,

no morning breath seared,

because the whole world

snores,

ignores,

when I speak.
