Better To Be Asleep

Sleep come
And best that it is fast 
Deep and dark with no windows 
Facing east
Sleep come
For it is 
better to be asleep.
It is better, 
than to dream
Better to be asleep 
In these days of rust
Than to fracture and fade
In the wilting sun

Deep sleep, no nightmares please, and no dreams, no sun, no heat. Just peace, and darkness and sleep...
