I haven’t slept

I’m waiting

Any moment now

I’ve closed my eyes

Lain still

Got as comfortable

As I could

Not enough

Morpheus is for dreams

I can’t recall who is

For sleep

Do the muses visit?

How about someone

From another

Group,

Egyptian or

A Mayan?

I’m more than willing

To negotiate

For obeisance

In exchange for

Some hours

Of nothing more

Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856–1931), Hypnos. The title (“Sleep” in Greek) comes from the fact that the boy holds two flowers of Brugmansia (a.k.a. “datura”), having a hypnotic effect.
