Bang

12:57 AM.

I rested my head
against the comfort of
my pillow and closed
my eyes
in the hope of
timely sleep

for a change.

just few hours
of pitch dark velvet
sky over me
around me.

no notifications
no vibrations
no wishes
no dreams
no reality

just absolutely
nothing.

3:12 AM.

shit.

I got up and
sat down against
the back of my chair.

the reflected rays
of the sun
had flooded the room.

I tried again.
and this time,
the sleep snuck up on me
like a hunter stalking
an unsuspecting prey.

and, bang.
