the cause of insomnia.

by ddscott

The fraction of time Spans a ten-acre riot While counting sheep in succession As they skip to the notes of your breath Lingering smoke Manifest itself Under lamp glow And blends of fog The webs in the corner Are vailing twin ghost Speaking in extinction Tracing a foxtrot The echoing division And halting idea This could be what you want This could be what it is Are you naked with amazing grace A sun setting pulse Around the halo of gospel Hangs over the recalcitrant Hold your arms to your side While exhaustion alludes That you've gone far enough This is all there's to do
