to sleep

the rest of the night
you will devote to sleep.
it will be your church,
your pew
of prayer, your
booth of confession.
you will lie down
on the altar of your
bed, in the sanctuary
of your room
and wait for the blessing
of dreams, the forgiveness
of sleep to arrive. you will
rise in the morning
cleansed, ready once
more to start your life.
