I'm doing 29 things
the moon shines incandescently
against the onyx sky
swept up, I feel the pain
numb and staggering, all at once
I breathe deeply
not knowing where I find the strength
and they come faster, quicker, until
my feelings are fleeting

Okay. Perhaps I am setting the bar too high or something, but I don’t think that I can go every night being peacefully asleep by 11 o’clock at night. I should just take a melatonin and tell my brain to shut the hell up. Otherwise, it seems to be improving tremendously. I’d much like to become more of an early bird.
