A poem of late nights and sleep depravity.

I need sleep

I need sleep

I don’t occupy this body

It functions without me

peel back this skin

and you will find me

drowning in the cups of coffee

breathing the late nights into my lungs

the lamp my only sun

peel back this skin

and you will find me

asleep
