When you can’t sleep at night

Dripping contour on the banks of your side of the bed

Whistling whispers of your death

(Coming down from the rafters)

You have your father’s eyes

And your daughter’s despise

(I see you for what you really are)

I used to think

But I cannot dream

For sleep is for the weak

And I haven’t in weeks

(Insomniac at best)
