Napitation

You know...when you only have 10 mins to sleep

Here I exist

in this little place

that’s dark and infinite

an entire galaxy

behind my eyelids

I’m traveling faster and further

than physically possible.

The baby coughs

and I’m back on Earth

laying in bed

no chance of falling back a doze.

I think about making a coffee

and decide on earl gray

and a dollop or two

of honey will do

to arise

from my ten minute napitation.
