Sound

Why do they call it
"sound asleep"?
Sound is keeping me
From my sleep

I keep my guitar
Near my bed
So In the night
When beasties stir

And the pillow
Rejects my
pounding
Head


Door
Flush
Gush
Floor


I pace the strings
And try to
Remember
Lyrics or
Chords to


Half-forgotten songs
The soundtrack
Of my life
Half-remembered


An hour
Till the
buzzard
Squawks


Now I feel
Like sleeping


The hard route
As usual
