Looking For
Sleep
God, just
let me sleep
I have
counted a million sheep
Stared at
the ceiling
Listened to
the crickets chirping
Even went
and got warm milk
Still sleep
avoids me
My mind will
not shut down for the night
What will
Sharion do with Michael
How will the
people go on
What word rhymes
with pompous
So many
stories running through my mind
Poems that
need to be written
But, not at
that moment
Not when my
eyes should be closed
It is so bad
I started taking notes on toilet paper
My little
pad ran out hours ago
Another night
gone
One sunbeam
hitting me from the dawn
I just want
to forget the world and sleep
Maybe I will
just delete my book
Stop writing
poems and stop thinking
Then my eyes
will close and I will fall to sleep
At least
until my baby starts crying
