Requesting Slumber Tonight [abecedarian]

by Bruce W Niedt

Awake!

Brutally conscious,

dreams evaporated, forgotten.

Groggily have I just kept living.

Morpheus! Negate our predicament,

quash restlessness!

Sandman! Target unrepose valiantly,

where x-marks-the-spot!...

(yawn)…. zzzzzz….

This piece did anything but put me to sleep. Well done Bruce.
