Before Sleep Comes

Three steps and
a sprint towards sleep,
the idea of you.

Two steps and
a sprint towards sleep,
the idea of me.

One more step and
a sprint towards sleep,
the grand idea of loneliness.

Twice every twenty-four, right before and right after,
I numb and make inaudible sounds.
My pillows are hugged out, dried out.
The greatness of me had to downsize.
Here I am.
