Insomnia’s Valentine

Now sleep is steep
I cannot climb
Down the ladder
Or lift off the roof
I’m stuck in a stupor
Of dreamed sleepwalking
To have a look at the stars
I wish you were with me
To huddle together
In such a bright night
The great beings of light
Tumbling around us just as
Vincent painted them
And one bird out there
Still singing in its sleep
