Roman

Snooze Necessity

Wakeful tiredness 
shivers as it shimmers
at the edge of dreams that weren't 

Couched in not quite a bed
given up for napped
undead caffeination

Spartan eyes fight
to widen their territory
at war with other body parts

Athens has a mind to spell 
s l e e p, for the wise
while the weak whimper awake
