Gentle bellow into night
Rhythmic song pollutes the air
And I am jealous of his tune
My brain battles against the bliss of slumber
Like a leaky faucet that won't turn off
drip
drip
drip
and I lie here
Again
As usual
As always
Feeling that frantic need rise as I begin to clock watch
And the hours slip beyond my grasp
Still his cadence mocks my weary body
My mind cannot cease its discourse
A river runs through it
Drags me into its undertow
Submerged under the flow of memory in motion
I long to join his melody
A duet in harmony
If I could just get to sleep
