After reading this one from last year, I think I'm going back to bed to get the rest of my sleep allotment.  


Night is Here
Virginia Salter

night is here
something’s pulling
upper eyelids
weighing down
trying to extend
to puffiness
of cheeks, lower lids

arms heavy
shoulders barely move
barely,
need tonnage removed

fingers move
almost independently
of thought
thought process
locked

virtual memory
kicks in
I rise
seek path to
slumber
good night
