• Sleepless- A poem that reads top down and down up

  

  I wrote this poem at 2.58 a.m. on Friday night (8/11/19) in a hotel room in Goa. I couldn’t sleep. I lay awake until past 3.00 a.m. in the morning. I’m not sure whether it was being away from home that was the cause of a sleepless night or if it was the excitement of […]
