How Poets Sleep Poem by Hasan Maruf

How Poets Sleep

Rating: 5.0


Our minds don't stop,

They tread a perpetual treadmill

Un-ordinary tragedies crowd out

Other emotions

Like hope or light fading

In bitter interaction...mutual attraction

Conversations that will never cease

Stories unwind

While we lie between sheets

Anxious, prostrate

Because we aren't what we want

To be

And we will never be.

What we want to be

Tragedies in brooding nights.

Hovering...a figure

Stands stoically in the doorway

Staring, standing

He's not real...

But we must keep our eyes closed

And fool ourselves

Because we fear fatigue

And tomorrow
