Sleep

Dull red hues: my eyes project; its vision bizarre.
Begone! They scurry and look for clarity.
But the night has yet begun.

The sky turns black - whitish black.
Like pale white roots of a plant
uprooted - a naked, lifeless body.
Its remnants covered by a black funeral drape.

The world: in silence they speak,
in the shadows they consume
the lush meadows that sheep jump through.

Into the black abyss they fall
when they fall out of mind,
like pitiful leaps of fate into nothingness.
