Sleep

Drugged with sleep I wonder if this is how I will die. Teetering between the twin cities of asleep and awake I will slip into . . . what, exactly? Hell and damnation? Been there, thanks to a lousy travel agent or whoever it is that decides eight deaths in three years is perfectly reasonable for any human being to deal with. I long to hibernate through the rest of my days. I am alive. What more can I hope for?

evening prayer—
I wait for the bells
to be still
