“BIRTHDAY” 19 July 96

Relax. Think of nothing.
Don’t even think of trying
to sleep
put your feet at the corner of the bed
exhaustion will carry me away

or else:

a night spent staring at the ceiling
whilst the body collapses
trying too hard for dreaming
a day spent trying to survive
a night spent in hunger for dreams
