Ravelled spools
Of spilled awake-dreams and un-sleeping grievances.
Let’s watch them like an old film
On a tattered sheet.
I want what you want — to sleep.
To say goodnight to trickling doubt,
And face the grout in the walls.

I want what you want — to sleep.
To say goodnight to trickling doubt,
And face the grout in the walls.
