your back against the bed
you stare at your ceiling
you wonder how you fall asleep
because when it happens, there is no feeling

how does your consciousness leave you
without saying goodbye
how does it leave you alone on your bed
without leaving you to die

the morning after,
you forget how you slept
you forgot how your mind left you
so tonight you will try again
how do we sleep? it just happens and we barely remember how it did the next day
