12:26

I am not asleep

I should

Feel guilty.

 

My hair's a mess -

Let down

By the day.

 

Naked

Except for big pants

(the comfy kind)

I lie

Skewered

On my bed

Of words.

 

Something about

This time

Gets me going:

Sublime.

 

Night writing

Obsesses

Me into

Restless,

Writeful,

Wakefulness.

 

No -

I am not asleep

I am alive

I am flowing...

 

Seconds slip by

With ease;

Not a single

One

Counted.

 

Life's gone

In a second

In this place.

 

Life's here

In a breath

In this place.

 

Life is this place -

Mounted on

 

This night,

These words.
