Notes About The Poem

" SLEEP " MY PHOTO, ©

The Brothers

In this Sleep and Death defer:

The former,

On a daily return trip, us takes,

The latter,

Into a permanent one, without a chance

of return!*

Hahaha, wise choice my friend Tom. From what I have seen the last seven decades I am certain I don't wish to return. Thank you!
