A note on temporary insomnia

To sleep...
Intoxication lends the weak–
Does it not? And stops
torrential thoughts
wreaking havoc through
old wars fought
And lost.
 
Diphenhydramine.
Overdosed and seen
to by a specialist...
To add to the long list
of counsellors
And practitioners,
And slightly fucked up lovers
And all of whom have their say–
In their ever so
                          careful
way–
How I, myself and me,
should properly, healthily, be.
 
To give, unhappily
(But not unwillingly),
Into my body’s cry
Might take me
Somewhere I
Could comfortably be.
...To sleep.
