unrest

pale moonlight filters through closed blinds,

a silvery shape on the carpet

tossing, turning

no rest for the weary

forgetting where you are

reorienting yourself

you\'re in your room

on your bed

that is the ceiling

there is the window

the silvery shape has moved several inches across the floor...

how long has it been,

how much longer will it be 

before unconsciousness drags your lids closed with leaden fingers

and fitful sleep overtakes you

it does not matter either way

you will not feel rested come morning
