I wish we didn’t need sleep but we do. I’m starting to feel age creeping into my bones and my brain and now more than ever I’m realizing how important a clear and stable mind sleep is.

Brittle bones

Trapped

In a bag of flesh

Fat dissolving

Organs hardening

Brain short

Short

Short-circuiting

Life deteriorating

Screaming protest

As fires sweep

Absolution

Across the sleeping
