Restless Night

Still up.

I feel the weight

That the dark puts on me.

I try to drown it with lamp light:

Gets worse.

    Do you feel your head unspooling into the universe?

    The ends of the string are fraying at the edges, 

    irreparably stained with the stardust at the ends

     of the many worlds you stretch across.

    Sacred Holy Dream

    Yes, Alice thought as she drifted deeper into sleep from within that lightless and beautiful place, make it stranger now. Make it all new again.
