Can't sleep tonight and I have to be up and out the door in the morning to teach 4th grade. Today I was a substitute special ed teacher. It seems the house is too quiet. No babies sleeping beside me. Can't seem to settle on what to read. I need a serious book store visit, I guess. I could just stack the books I have here that are unread and pretend I am in a bookstore. I could pay with shekels like Kristin and Elizabeth use when they play bookstore. Maybe poems would calm me, maybe I should write one. Some thoughts:
unable to sleep
stretched arteries
clots of blood
that pain in my chest
shhhhh
shade trees
lop-sided failing to shelter/shield
letting in unwanted spirits
fear
shhhhh
'night
No need for fear. Sleep now.
