SLEEP

Tossing and turning and running in circles.
My stomach is flipping and my body grows numb in the frigid air.
I shake uncontrollably and try to keep from thinking.
Sleep is impossible and so is quiet and I feel dettached from my surroundings.
I can't see two feet in front of me and I close my eyes.
My body throbs and the tremors back off.
And I slip into sleep; eternal sleep at last.
