INSOMNIA
Trying to sleep but can't
Too many thoughts
Which to follow
They jumble together
The body says
"Let me sleep"
The mind says
"The square root of
Purple lilies is the
English version of a lie"
Trying to think
Too many cants
Follow the sleep
Jumble they say
"Sleep you will not"
Says the square
"The English root of
The mind is lilies
Purple of a lie."
I give up and watch T.V.

Where I writhe alone, spinning
In this restless trance.
Back and forth as the tide

by C.M. Tucker
If windows would close long enough,
Maybe unexpected dreams would rise
And challenge pain
That keeps insomnia company.
