The moment before I fall asleep
It's hot and oppressive,
Like a down comforter in the summer
Which simultaneously swaddles and suffocates me
Unti I succumb to my subconscious

It's a nervous trust fall
Where I kick back my heals and close my eyes
But sleep catches me
And fills my mind with nothing
So that I may consider everything

It's heavy and gentle all at once
A push and a pull
A relief
A release
