VERSE: Sleep Walk

06/23/2019

A.

Russian Doll box on display

How can I keep away

So sleep is a certainty

That is clear

Where from which I cannot hide

I do fear

B.

Today. Tomorrow. This moment

I fix a brief internment

Walking within the confinement

Where sleep is a certainty

That is clear

Where from which I cannot hide

I do fear

C.

Reality behind my lids inevitable

Wakeless slumber an eternity, certainly

Instead I lay in wake to be awoken

This curse has to be broken

This tragedy stalking

From which nightmares reside

This is clear
