It's when the sun sinks down
When the coyotes start to howl
I feel my thoughts knotting and rising
The web in my brain spreading, criticizing
I want to lull into a sleep so white
That the thinking can't hold tight
Its the time of night
While the world sleeps tight
My body feels the weight
Of my minds loud awake state
"Anywhere but here"
But taking the first step
To going anywhere
Means I must first learn to be here
