NIGHT TRIP

She loves  
A love delirious  
Though need for sleep  
Is serious  
 
I take my half a pill  
And pray  
This night will  
Spirit us away  
 
When needy dog  
Barks back at us  
At synesthesia's  
Maximus  
 
And time can't handle  
Our affection  
Insisting on  
Misdirection  
 
Light is in  
Such short supply  
Our minds may reach  
A mile high
