sleepless
I can walk.
In winter
before dawn.
I can walk.
Allowing me to sleep.
To sleep.
To sleep before the sun.
Nights.
Nights are so very long.
But if I wake.
I wake and walk
before the dawn.
Then life.
Then life it will be over soon.

Wot, strange that you like it? Hehe! It just came to me one sleepless night! Now we've changed the clocks I don't where I am. Well, I do know where I am, just not WHEN I am! xx

I think this can be interpreted in two ways. It's appropriate to the Halloween theme... and the living dead, vampires etc..
but i can see the references within it could be relevant to insomnia too. Nice one Ann ;-)
A double whammy.x
I can empathise with the insomnia, the ending is bleak, and I'm identifying there too. The line that intrigues - To sleep before the sun - that can be played with a bit more I think, I can see several ambiguities there anyway.
Interesting piece

Funny, but when I wrote this a few days ago there was no connection in my head with undead walking etc. Just the general gloom of a sleepless night. Then I happened to post it on Halloween. Hey ho!
