lyrics

Moment 60: Sleep

What new phase is this? You crave sleep like you’ve never craved it before!—not with despondency or depression or defeat, but with a lavish desire steeped in something like longing, ardor, flirtation. Last night, you slept—what?—ten, eleven hours? And since then you’ve daydreamed of returning only to dreams. You want to lie on your back in your bed with the room growing cold around you. You want to wear your sleep mask and breathe quietly into the darkness. You want to play ghost stories on your phone so that the fear from others can lull you into a cozy warm sleep. All beneath two heavy blankets and the descending night and the ceiling overhead and the sky beyond that and the stars floating out there in space. Forget everything else, all your worries and fears and fantasies, and just be here, drifting, listening, your head filling up as your consciousness drains away and creates holes in the words. Oh how cold the blankets when you slip under them. Oh how warm the blankets when you slide awake.
