Insomnia

Sleepy. 

   

Where did you go?

Rain chattering in the downspouts, 

thoughts puddling in the would-be going-to-sleep-now places in my mind.

Splashing. 

     Listening.   

               Comfort from the nightness.

More awake now, I realize I’m savoring the solitude, reviewing the day’s challenges.

                                  Position change.  

Try the breathing techniques.  

                                                 Take a leak.  

Rearrange, 

                               adjust, 

relax, 

                                                wait.

  Where does tired go when you lie down to sleep and it’s gone?
