as I tried to sleep,

heard a small ‘thup’ beside me -

looked, saw a dried leaf

Day 2451

in my basement space,

I can hear the rain outside,

and hope to find sleep

went to bed at twelve,

was up before five a.m.:

my schedule’s off-track

day 2280a/b

day 2280a

the pillow and noises

were all strange to me, hence sleep

wasn’t too restful

I’ve been reading words

from a time past, where suitors

wowed with their missives

day 2252

as we went to bed

“Leave the blind open, I want

to see the snowstorm.”

she curled up to me,

as I sat reading comics -

nightly ritual

 

day 1948/day 1949a/b

day 1948
silly Internet,
though cause of some annoyance,
the “goods” outweigh “blahs”

.

day 1949a
though my eyes were closed,
sleep was slow in coming; rain
could be heard outside

.

day 1949b

I think we all need
regularly-scheduled shifts
of our perspectives

day 1891

day 1891
I opened my eyes
in the darkened bedroom – saw
curtains fluttering

day 1835

day 1835
it’s late afternoon
and I’ve hit that wall where all
I want is a nap

day 1827

Rachel said, “I turn
all the lights on right away,
to help me wake up.”
