Just Three


Three more hours

to sleep

unopposed

 

Three more hours

from verses

supposed

 

Three more hours

of quiet

and peace

 

Three more hours

my dreams 

to appease

 

Three more hours

where time

has been screened

 

Three more hours

to live

in between

 

Three more hours

not hither

or yon

 

Three more hours

a reckoning

— dawn

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2025)
