4:00 AM
This is a nightmare
Terrors and cold sweats paralysis
Making the panting breathless
Gut feelings and
Sinking ships
I’m bland spaghetti
Mixed and scrambled – untie me
Building knots in my spine
With the weight of these trays
Muffled, muddled, mussle with
Expectations
When your favorite pillow
Breaks your neck
Asking the clock to tick faster
Get this over with
Slower I
Need more
Time I
Can’t move with the pull of all these strings
