Poem 6, 2022: Before Sleep
Before SleepI want to be dreamless at night,
no thrill, regret, not a single secret.I want to be in bed
Without delay, nor yet unhurried.I want to lay in silence,
Because music is desire.I want to be empty
Of today, the past, and tomorrow.I want to feel the coldness
Of the cruel weather-maker.I want to hear my breath
And none of your voice.I want to see the dark
Before closing my eyes.I want to rest
For now and not live a life.—Razel Estrella
