Those sheep
Jumping the wall
They're all asleep
So I count the cracks in the wall
Doesn't help at all
I’m alone
But I know I’m not alone
All around the world
Millions lie in beds
Trying to catch some zeds
Anxieties unfurled and whirled
Cyclones twist our heads
In a sleep exclusion zone
Drinking camomile tea
A cat dozes on my knee
Mocking me
I could write some poetry
That might send me
Off to sleep mid-verse
End this night-time curse
But it didn't
Because I've finished it, it seems
Unless this is just a dream
