Sleep Afar

Amidst my sleep, the cockcrow
Like a clamor from the crow
The murky eclipse _ still lying in 
rows

Precious sleep, how I need your 
grip
For the bulwarks won’t breath 
nor the dusky move a lip
As I vie with the whizzes _ 
curtains flip

Submerge my soul _ make it lie 
in state
Like the Dead Sea, my eyes are 
at stake
As the mind think over the 
earlier mistake
