Insomnia Poem by D.P. Lukich

Insomnia



MY eyes crust over
with deep red fissures,
stung by the stale air.

Unyielding ennui now...
as the klik-klak of keys...
shovel's crunch to earth..
or mush of a mortar sandwich.

Yet insomnia strikes back
(or rather again)

Mesmerized by Ms. Applegate,
Cosby;
or Jack & janet & KRISSY.

Have mercy, perhaps my soul to keep?
First please, OH please,

LET ME SLEEP!
