The website wouldn't let me add this as a journal entry

by Jolie Jordan

Should I be alseep?

I'm sick, my nostrils are flaring
my bed is ridden and snoring,
empty sheets twisted and sweaty

My palms clammy
I lack wholeness
my lids flutter with dirt
in the creases,
please jesus

I know am filthy,
or maybe
I just need another word for awake

Even vultures take a rest once and a while.

Author's Note: Basically I have a headcold coupled with insomnia tonight and this is the end result. I did not want to post it as a poem but P.org had other ideas...
