i really love sleep
but it doesn’t love me
waking me up
at a quarter past 3
trying to figure out
what’s up with me
”is it covid or aging?”
as i ask chatGPT.
melatonin gives me nightmares,
wild and disturbing
magnesium i’m not sure yet,
felt ill, maybe concerning.
i think i need a mini-break –
quite actually,
sit with coastal redwoods
and the ocean breeze.
think about life
and love and dogs
cleansing the busy mind
from life’s heavy fog.
zzzz
