a long day

Spencer Wilhelm

Eyes closing closer.

Cool conditioning flowing through my hair,

Sharp against the sweat in my pits.

 

Eye lids lower.

Calm, constant, hypnotic tinnitus takes control

over all thoughts; clearing, washing, drowning

them all away. 

 

Lashes feebly flicker.

And from the voided mind, vaults vividly

secrets, laid bare in the honest unharnessed thoughts.

Life revives itself, and

At last, perfectly, sleeps.

    A most interesting poem that is in ways hypnotic itself. It is both literal and metaphorical in the sleep it speaks of and can be taken either way. Lovely

    Cleansing and clearing of the mind in preparation for another day, enjoyed the read
