Sleep in the afternoon
comes too soon
sleep like a log for an hour
no blanket to cover.
Sleep in the night
keeps my eyes tight
sleep like a feather the whole time
wake up when the bell chimes.
Sleep during the journey
lands up too easily
sleep lightly with head nodding
rise up when the head goes knocking.
Sleep with eyes wide open
happens to me too often
my body is at rest in a posture chosen
while my mind travels in a motion.
Sleep has different promotions
the best could be the frozen
the eternal sleep without a wake-up
as death descends with no follow up.
