I wonder 

And I cry 

And I sleep!

Sleep!

Oh to get to sleep!

I thank the world when it lets me get to sleep. 

So many hours awake.

Still…

Not enough.

But to get to sleep!

The light place, away from it all, where anything can happen…

And everything does happen!

The days, the days are long. 

Many things. 

Unexplainable, unpredictable. 

Many slices of time…

In between time. 

I see people who float. 

I see people who starve.

I see parts of bodies…

Sometimes in a good way. 

Sometimes…

In a bad way. 

In between these blinks, the darkness is halved. 

But sleep! 

Fuuuuhhhcking sleep.

Sleep is light. 

Sleep is away. 

Anything can happen in sleep. 

Anything. 

Not like wake. 

Wake is piece by piece. 

Steps, Paths, Castles… Cathedrals!

Wake is imagination!

Brick by brick. Step by step. Wake is the ticking of the tock. 

The turning of the rock. 

Gravity. 

Everything acting on everything.  

These days, wake is hard. 

A famine harms us all. 

2.

2 famines. 

Doubly… Hard. 

I feel sad. 

But also… 

I look away…

I live the life of wake. 

To look towards and to look away. 

Letter by letter, building a world of light…

Drawn by the dark. 

-The Darkness.
