Exultation
I
Laboriously climb
The rock-hewn stairs
Towards exultation.
Yet at every step,
I pause and think
If I'd be better off
Turning back
As my sweat drips down
.
But I can't.
I've been there--
And the only way
Is up.

Pyre of Insomnia
Insomina
Is the pyre
of the Self.
But...
Who is holding the match?

Insomniac's Lament
Hear
My mournful sleepless tune,
My insomniac's lament.
A cat meows dolefully outside my window.
Somewhere,
A dog barks.
Meanwhile, I toss and turn,
Hoping for a glimpse of sleep.
But if I do fall asleep...
What will happen to my poems?

A Letter to Insomnia
Dear Insomnia,
You're responsible
For some of my best poems.
I hate you...
Please don't leave me.

Sleep Combat
I toss and turn,
Waging fierce combat
Against the sleeping pill.
Will I sleep? Will I dream?
I don't know.
All I can do
Is write this poem
And hope for the best.

The Ferryman
In a self-created hell,
there is no Charon
To ferry us across
The river Styx.
We are alone.
The one remaining place
To seek out the ferryman
Is
inside
.

Crunchy Leaves
Laying in bed,
Tossing and turning,
I think of the crunchy leaves
I stepped on earlier.
And I feel guilt
That no one else will ever
Step on those same leaves again.
I've effectively planted my flag
Expanding my crunchy leaf dominion.
Others will just have
To live with that.
