... sleep won't come...


… sleep won't come…

 

 

… what's that sound?

   … a gentle but disturbing vibration - in the middle of the night…

my mind grasping… desperate for that elusive sleep…

 an owl calling… a fox barking, then an otter whistling by the duck pond

* * *

   … impractical to join them - the best I can do is write…

through that intrusive insomnia - I sympathise with those creatures of the night…
