Insomnia Personified

Time seems to slow down

Thoughts are what keep you awake at night

Slower than love fading 

Consciously I’m awake and numb

Subconsciously I am blank and still sleeping

Numbers hold frame like weathered windows

The house is breathing but not alive

Eleven bells chime as night falls

The whispering of the hedge snickers 

As the girl has a glimpse of eye contact 

With no one but her own reflection
