Lullaby

Molasses minutes    
itchy eyeballs  
mattress strewn with    
tacks and nails.    
Mad clocks talk    
tick-tock tick-tock!
Never to sleep.    
Not ever to wake.    
   
Forsaken days,    
forgotten projects,    
Relationships crumble;    
shameless haze.   
Dawn bleeds slow to    
sleep-in mornings.    
Insomnia howls:    
'Pyjama day'.
