Sleepless

Sleeplessness has got me hallowed out.
Only a question remains: how can one be so empty
And consumed all at once

Everything but sleep upon me,
Pale-white as a sheet and
The days grow colder still

They say a weather warning is approaching.

The pharmacist spoke of it as he dolled out my pills
I am but a quiet, dry shell
Waiting

On the couch at 5am
The lightest dreams flew into me,

Like a hundred soft grey moths
