My God, this reminded me of reading Kahlil because one part of his prose he mentions bugs crawling (beetles)in his brain and somehow the marbles sparked that thought. Breath escapes an angels slumber. The only promise of perfection, my sleeping child - mimicking each tick tock of my heart beat my head against these walls as another car drones by . . . |

Time to establish a pact with the stars ... they will sprinkle their golden dust over your eyes and bring peace ... if you pay them due attention ... by counting them. They work better than the sheep I promise! You always capture an atmosphere so masterfully, dear Raffaele. Abbracci Margherita  |

I hearya! ~ and you scribed it perfectly! On nights like that, I just get out of bed and start my next day very early! ~ at 3 or 4 AM! I don't mind the sound of a lone wolf in the distance, but those noisy bees buzz the heck outta me! Perhaps when you and I go to bed tonight (oh, that didn't come out right! lol) we should count some woolly sheep!  Linda |

You are one of the rare people that I'm in awe over when I read your poetry...and hey i'm not sure if i'm capable of writing anything anymore..I haven't been depressed enough to write much sick isn't it? loved this...If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

I'm still trying to work out exactly what sleep is and how it works for us but whatever, we are all entitled to some. Excellent read! |

Try day sleeping! Working nights brings sleepers, lawn mowers and kids frolicking in back yard pools. Worse, power saws grinding trees and shrubs. Dogs and cats bellow cries of fright and flight. Spouses barking, forget the dogs this is worse, as they forget voices carry in the wind. Cars and pick up trucks with boom boxes turned up high enough to rattle windows. And all this in a suburb! Listen to kitchen noises as family snack and laugh, television turned to cartoons. Computers playing games. This is day time life as the third shifters hear it. Oh, to wake up and go to work to find quiet and alone time. |
