fast asleep

I lean into sleep,
onto
the cold side of a pillow.

I pull tight the sheet,
the blanket.

the room is dark, the way I
like it.

I breathe and let go of others,
their pain,
their anger, their troubles.

there is nothing I can do about that.
I can barely take
care of myself.

I fall fast into dream.
a sweet dream.

one that makes me smile when
I awake.

it will stay with me all day,
and forget
what came before it.
