Sleep Has No Property

Night came uninvited

Pierced through with stars

Its dream where separate things

Hanging Above

Inside things hum and whir

No calm at all

Sleep has no property

I heard him call

Night came uninvited

Brutal unloved

The moon crept uninvited

Over my sill

To mock me with Its learning

Unsavoury grin

Inside I'd sweat and strain.

No calm at all

Sleep has no property

As I recall

The moon came uninvited

Sallow and grin
