Death’s Little Brother
We meet nightly
‘tween loss and gain
ebb and flow
fall and spring
A secret world
I fear and loathe
Grasp and love
Cannot avoid
Mellow dramas
Play out inside my head
Greek chorused
Ever real unwinding
Behind closed windows
Trapped beneath the dross of the day
Picking its way towards daylight
Fathoming the unfathomable
Beyond my control, my comprehension
There’s work afoot
Sleep
We meet nightly
‘tween loss and gain
ebb and flow
fall and spring
A secret world
I fear and loathe
Grasp and love
Cannot avoid
Mellow dramas
Play out inside my head
Greek chorused
Ever real unwinding
Behind closed windows
Trapped beneath the dross of the day
Picking its way towards daylight
Fathoming the unfathomable
Beyond my control, my comprehension
There’s work afoot
Sleep
