Falling Asleep
By B. J. Lee
I go to bed.
I close my eyes,
but specters
in my mind arise.
I punch my pillow,
toss and moan.
Clearly, I
am not alone.
I crack an eyelid,
scan the room –
that’s when I see
dark shadows loom.
I rub my eyes
so hard they burn.
I crumple up
my sheets and turn.
I struggle, wrestle
through the night,
then, finally,
at dawn’s first light:
as sunbeams ’cross
my window creep,
I shudder twice
and fall asleep.
