Count on Sleep

When I cant sleep, I want to run.

My legs dangle from an itchy cliff.

Brain entangles consciousness 

Splitting fences

 

I'm counting on sleep

No time to count sheep ¦z

No time to pounce sheep ¦zz

No time to coin sleep, sleep ¦zzz

 

Sleep

- - interrupted - -

Baaad dream 

- - erupted - -

Life

Accepted

 

I pull the wool over my eyes

I stuff myself into existence

And roll over

Like the best of us

We rest a bit

We let go of it

When sleep comes
