Web of Sleep

by Amanda Conlogue

Sleep is delicate
Thin and fine, spider’s webbing

Invisible until walked through
Destroying the intricate weave

Silken threads cling to your face
Tickling and damp, you wipe at it

Several times with leaden fingers
Feeling nothing but sticky discomfort

It is a while before you can
Close your eyes and breathe again

Excellent imagery. Nice word choice... I am still pulling imaginary webs from my beard.
