Sleepless

by Winjer

There you go
Tossing and turning in blissful sleep
As i nurse a headache/hangover
Trying to sleep normal hours
And failing
This shift has screwed me up

hearing you breathe, relaxed,
is cute/annoying
as every sound is like a shot
to the head, keeping sleep just out
of reach

so instead, i brave the winds
of late december
and walk the dogs,
hoping that the fresh air
and moderate pace
will knock me out for at least few hours
