Unsleep the night,
DiSTuRb,
repress fallacious feasibility,
DiSTorT,
awake the dreamer to all probability,
Forsake the hours spent in cloud drifts, ghosted shadows
of the lives we meant to see,
all possibilities.
Day’s disambiguation
BrOKeN,
Remembered fantasies.
Trail the highways of insomnia,
where bridges solid
link illusion to reality,
Unsleep the night.
Love your title, it conjures so much! If only we could capture these unconscious thoughts and scenes to revisit when we wanted. Oh, well, we can but dream!

Wow, when I can’t sleep (which is most nights) I never think of poems… this is great, but, I hope you get some sleep tonight.

Hoping you have slumbered well since this. I cannot sleep without taking something now. I have tried, unsuccesfully. If only we had a key that would lock the brain. x

Thanks, Jen. It’s a pain, isn’t it? The falling asleep bit I can do no problem. It’s the staying asleep that’s the bugger! I keep waking umpteen times a night.
