Sleepless Nights
What makes all-nighters feel so odd?
I’ve had a weird all-nighter. Or not weird at all.
It’s just that
All all-nighters are weird.
They hold a sort of empty fullness in them.
Maybe they feel like that because
They are the hours of when you’re supposed to
Sleep and switch-off.
Maybe that’s what makes them so overwhelmingly
Timeless, so comfortably eerie and
Uncomfortably soothing?
Maybe.
Maybe I’ve just cracked the code; the question that
Lingers always – the feeling of uncertainty towards
Sleepless nights; early mornings; those weird
Dark hours when birds sing and you wonder why.
These dark sleepless hours make nostalgia
Explode in my gut. It makes me sick.
And yet I enjoy and embrace every long minute
Of this darkness. Sleepless nights sometimes
Feel like medicine to me. Sometimes you need
To lose sleep, spend a whole night
Daydreaming rather than dreaming in your sleep.
Revive yourself, almost. Embrace the dark happiness.
