Danielle Dax Sleep Has No Property
Night came uninvited
Pierced through with stars
Its dream were separate things
Hanging above inside things hum and whir
No calm at all
Sleep has no property
I heard him call
Night came uninvited
Brutal unloved
The moon crept uninvited
Over my sill.
To mock me with its learning
Unsavoury grin.
Inside I'd sweat and strain.
No calm at all
Sleep has no property
As I recall
The moon came uninvited
Sallow and grin.
