Can't Sleep

Last night I awoke at two o'clock in the morning and couldn't fall back to sleep until dawn. Though I felt exhausted today as the result, there's something comforting and sacred about the early hours. Here's a haiku inspired by the experience.

Stretch across my skin

Your threads of silver moonlight

In secret waking

But sorry you didn't sleep well.
