#28 - SEVENLING: SPENT

Between weighted lids, my mind
floats above an urn of ether; my head
is nodding; and my feet are trussed
in leaden shackles.

.

I’m so tired; I’ve been Sleepless
again, counting the shooting stars;
I’m so sleepy I’m a zombie robot.
I hope I get some sleep tonight.

.

The stars stare down in sympathy.*
