I’ve forgotten a word on my lips
while I was sliding into the sleep,
the dream had no titles,
I was not human any more.
A leaf lounging on the lake
pushed by a paddle in a mad dance,
freeze the frame;
the kid is howling into the night,
the heart is jumping out of chest,
she wants to drink water,
I’m spinning in a mad dance
with thousands of whispers,
the sleep is left on the lake,
I am human again,
sliding into the night.
It seems to convey the sensations of insomnia rather well.
Thank you, Louis Kasatkin!
