What Sleep Can'T Befriend
Are you the hero
of a recurring dream
Or the victim
of a life undone
Are you the ambassador
for all you esteem
Or a fugitive
—a soul on the run
Are you a real friend
beyond trial and strife
Whose allegiance
now stalwart defends
Are you the true master
of all your desires
Or the ghost
—of what sleep can’t befriend
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
