At 3am I wake.
A catalog of lists
revolves inside my head
Endless things to do and say
ideas that will
not stop.
But I am weary.
I do not want
false friends.
My body craves
a dreamlessness
that hovers
just outside of reach.
I toss and shift,
eyes open,
alert, watchful.
I am ready,
but for what?
I sigh, turn again
and start to count.
