"The Sleepiness Sets In"

 "The Sleepiness Sets In"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD


I

 How many times did I nod?

In front of this blank screen.

Thinking that my thoughts would type itself

through some forces unseen


II

And how many times has the time gone

when I felt that there were some left?

The Night was Rising when I came

And the Sun Rises from where I went


III

The minutes trickle away

as well as the mind that considers it.

Dripping into unconsciousness

and Writing less and less about it.


The Gatehouse Loft. Valenzuela City. August 19 2021. 4:50am. Poem 20 of 31.
