Don'T Sleep
Don't sleep
just cover your mind
with a blanket of unknown
a film of subconscious thought
that creates like day dreams night
and flow upon this bed imagination
giving you claws to grasp the unrealistic
and edge yourself to look down at everything
and smile at the deepest, darkest, depth of life
let yourself swallow all that sweat that's gathered
filling your mouth, tasting fear, so you could know
that courage develops inside you somehow, some way
jumping off mournfully of the dust you have long set in
but have finally allowed the wind of your self to uncover.
