Schlafi

 

SLEEP, oh yes—
especially when the day is crushing,
or the whole world is.
Trump? Ukraine?? Climate????

First things first:
self-care. Sleep.
Like a twelve-step skincare ritual.

Anyone got a Xanax left?
I can’t go on.

In my head only THE OPERA—
fear tangled with fury,
a lethal duet.

Sleep has become my religion.
Amen.
My cleansing rite,
to carve out some clarity
in the noise.
And everything is loud.

DREAM NOW, SWEETLY!!!!!!!!

Head, honey—
you are allowed to sleep,
and never wake again.
