Ambush
It is darkest and best for sleep
in the moment the sun
first contemplates its return;
(it has, thus far,
decided to return).
But don't think about this.
If you do, you may wake
after it does
And spoil sleep
like a hot iron
through a silk shirt,
For daylight penetrates thin lids
dismantling sleep
like a safe-cracker.
Sleep is the mightiest whinger.
When hijacked
it sends a guerilla force
to roam the terrain
behind your eyes.
