~Poetry~

Light Sleeper

I awake early
Long before the alarm ding
I can’t yet rise up

The eyes of today
Crispy dried raisins peeking
Out squinty boulders

I’m feeling tired
A physical sensation
With deeper roots dug

I could take a nap
Might I get away with it?
Real questions asked

My eyelids heavy
Gravity overcomes strength
Though Sleep eludes me
