And wipes his grey paws all over my eyes.
Insomnia dances around in my sheets,
And kicks the old dog till the showing of skies....

Premium Member eyes barely keep open
I gardened all day
so exhaustion would set in
It worked too, but fast....

I doubt that I have the capability.
My eyes are barely keeping open.

Float
in exhaustion
I dont care that I"m not sleeping
I'm happy for dark silence
lying still
no voices 
no music

I'm too tired
to sleep
I need to float my thoughts...

The head of the table,
but nothing has changed
Consensus of endorsement,
accolades of exhaustion
Whose tracks have long faded
—regret in the wind

Friday
exhaustion
scratches at the back of my  dry eyes
images of subconscious float into reality
confusing conversation
my skin is hypersensitive 
brain aches with overuse
even music hurts

oooo craving
a soft cool pillow
and silence...
