Orphan Poetry or Paradise Lost: II. In Sommnus

In Sommnus

Who is the patron saint
of a good night’s sleep?
I need to know the correct
department to direct
my prayers when it does no good
to count the cadence of my thoughts like sheep.

- I might quote a friend who said, “I like my thoughts.” and add, “just not at 3:30 am.”
