Insomnia

| By Angela Wye |

INSOMNIA

Move on. Move on

you urge the mind

when sleepless

there is awful space

to churn and turn

on what is done

or not during

the day that’s gone.

Move on. Move on

you urge the mind

when sleepless

there is awful space

to vocalize and sweat distress

as painful memories

deny you calm.

Move on. Move on

you urge the mind

when only able to quell

the night agonies

of your restless body

and tangled bedding

by switching on

the light.
