So very tired…
Early night…
Eleven forty-five
Suddenly
Wide awake…
Einstein…
Switched on…
Like a light bulb
Burning through
The night
Wide awake…
Fifty-two…
Words come
Tumbling
Need to
Write them down
Wide awake…
Ink and paper…
Downstairs
Scribbling notes
Dry throat
Lemonade
Wide awake…
Switch off…
Lights burn…
Itching
Screen glow
Scratching
Wide awake…
Watching you sleep
Will somebody
Just switch
My brain off
Please…?
Wide awake…
Names tumbling…
Einstein…
Fifty-two…
Ink and Paper…
Switch off…
Overslept
