The Sleep Count

Funny how when you can't get sleep, your whole world focuses down to how dang tired you are.

I got 3 hours last night and a 2 hour nap this afternoon.

Sleep forecast for tonight: extremely good.

-----------------------------------------------------

Do you know what I was, how I lived? You know
what despair is; then
winter should have meaning for you.
I did not expect to survive,
earth suppressing me. I didn't expect
to waken again, to feel
in damp earth my body
able to respond again, rememering
after so long how to open again
in the cold light
of earliest spring
afraid, yes, but among you again
crying yes risk joy

in the raw wind of the new world.

Dream forecast for tonight: Partly cloudy and hazy with a chance of increased oddity as we get into the morning hours.
