Request To a Sleepless Poem

Lay down, sleep, sleepless poem
for me into the night, slowly
may I be attentive and long
can write your thoughts

adjust your body thus thoughtless
so that I can consciously
write incessantly with impunity

take my advice and rest
to free me from discomfort
  having you attentive to my torment
