i'm too high
to still be awake, but
my brain's flying around
my bedroom light, making
scorching sounds.
so late it's early
and i'm learning
ways to keep myself awake
while trying to fall asleep.
nights like this
it's almost painful to have
someone sleep beside you.
they twitch and toss
and gape their mouths
and you go on doing
what you do, wishing
you could look that peaceful
on a pillow.
