I slept hard last night -
straight through,
and dark, muffled.
My sleep was motionless,
deeply satisfying,
and yet I awoke foggy and unwilling to rise.
I fumbled for my phone,
determined to head it off at the pass -
shove the finish line out a ways,
maybe another 30 delicious minutes
of swaddling in down puffiness.
I burrowed in and fell hard back into slumber.
Asleep Me panicked a bit,
worrying more than half-awake Me -
this round of rest was restless,
and I launched into a dream
stitching together the remnants of
the previous day and the worries newly born.
