Oftentimes sleeplessness goes hand in hand with depression. With the hot nights we’ve been having, most people I think, can empathize.

sleepless nights

sideways slipping
wilfully wandering
in the depth of time

expanding minutes
passing like hours
in the contraction of time

meaningless meanderings
clawing callously
in the stretch of time

distorting reality
contracting focus
in the weight of time
