"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.
