Poetry On The Odyssey: Restless Sleeper

I don't want to return to my small bed.

I return to my bed at night

and find that its left the same way

I left it this morning.

The familiar curve of the mattress

where my tired body lay,

untouched

only for me to return home

where my blankets catch my sighs

from across the room.

I don't want to return to my small bed,

that will soon cradle my body into

a restless sleep.

Watch as I reluctantly drag my feet

back to bed,

where I'll collapse into the space

where the mattress dips downward.

It wins again,

retrieving a lover who has no more energy to love

until she dreams

as sleep is the only place

where she is willing to give it away again.
