wake

waking up

August 7, 2022 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

waking up the first time we smile at the world

waking up the second the world is now clean

waking up the third time is the end of the world

falling asleep the last time is the dream

The key of E

Sleep, sleep well.
Then keys, keys fell.
Hell’s bells! he yelled, sleep-freed.

Last night I dreamed

Last night I dreamed I did not sleep. I lay awake, eyes blinking, thoughts racing, chest tight. And then I dreamt I woke.

I slept heavily last night

I slept heavily last night.

When I woke I did not know where I was or

who I was or

why I was

but then

I remembered.

Thank you
