lullaby


insomnia. sleep sleep sleep. deep slumber. of a different kind. of the waking kind. no senses. no feeling. walking dead. dull ache somewhere. dully aware of it. fleeting visions. waking dreams. the dead don't dream. dreams don't live. state of oblivion. dreams dying a dusty death. air reeking of death. but the legs move on. unmindful of the pungent odor. legs can't smell. arms akimbo. resignation. or silent desperation ? glazed eyes. unseeing eyes. eyes seeing different things. eyes seeing things differently. avoiding the dreams. don't step on the mines. beware. crying? who knows ? the furrows can't get wider. and there can't be more water. tears aren't necessary, you know. weeping eyes. insomnia. a world of its own. a wonderful world. a painful world. traipse through with care. don't want to end up awake.
