Lay your weary head down to rest
Don't be so hard on your haunted heart
Soothe your unsettled soul

Allow your mind to slip away into the little death of a night's sleep
So once again in the morning you resurrect and rise anew

At night while she sleeps, he comes like a robber then takes her hap...

each of my fingers press

against the bony ridge of forehead…

kneading, coaxing,

pleading for relief…

the insides of each hand

pinch against the aqualine

contours of my nose...
