AM I TIRED YET???

AM I TIRED YET???

 

I’m sitting up at four AM,

Writing more verses down…

Hearing the cars test local speed traps

By high-speed blast-offs through town.

–

Humming in our cupola from fans

Helping to circulate air…

Once I thought we could look out those windows

When we had first moved here!

–

There are no stairs to the top,

For ventilation those windows can open…

I know for safety there is no platform

But years before, I was hoping!

–

Getting tired as I write,

My agitation slowing down…

Pouring out the mind’s ideas

Puts feet back on solid ground.

–

Now I lay me down to sleep,

My C-PAP’s running fine…

Writing down my prayers and hopes

Will do ’til waking time.
