until sleep is done

mistakes are made.
fatigue
setting in.
you're just one person
doing the work
of two
or three.
you grow weary late
in the afternoon.
your hands
are heavy, your legs
go slow.
you get careless, then
finally you say
enough,
and go home, where you
lie down
on the long couch
and sleep
until sleep is done.
