Holiday snooze

.

With haste I succumb

to the draw of Morpheus

for a thousand winks.

Holiday hours

 

So what time is this?

I growl at my daughter, who

rises after lunch.

So tired

 

Sleep overwhelms and

in parallel burdens me;

jobs I have not done.

Night visitors

 

Vagabonds and thieves

shady felons of the night;

clothes hang from a door.

* Guess who didn’t sleep too well last night?

Night visitor

 

At four forty nine

the stairs creak and I wake up

a nightmare enters.

Doze

 

That delicious calm;

shallow breaths, stillness, silence

fleeting contentment.

Eye bogies

 

Phrase from my daughter

‘eye bogies’ had me laughing

I called them ‘sand men’.

Awake asleep

 

Our tummies rumble

waiting for the alarm clock

both awake asleep.

Zzz

 

Summer afternoon

slumber abruptly ended

by a hungry cat.

Snooze

 

Forty winks snatched high

in the air, hidden from the

wreckless crowd below.
