Awakening Memories

Here I lie
in my casket of sleep, 
Unknown dreams 
Resist repeats. 

Dialogue with darkness, 
Winds in the night, 
Everything after 
Awakening memories.

But how long will I keep this vigil?
when tiredness slept through the evening of night,
and all that is left to inhabit
is the midnight to dawn shift . . .

of wakefulness.
