the cracks in my reality
are lapses of consciousness
when insomnia and exhaustion meet

how each time my body propels
throwing stiffened joints
feels like a bright rebirth

though quickly realizing the fact
I hit the pillow with reckless abandon
I remember the time I hit my head hard

so hard the pain stopped with sleep
and started again with rise
the bump on my head did so

I still have no idea where this is going
this poem
this life - just more four letter words
