reading in bed

words blur together
head nods, book falls to the floor.
succumbing to sleep

night rain

the night rain shushes
a soft, steady lullaby
slowly sleep seeps in

not fully caffeinated

sleepy at lunchtime
check the label, cause revealed:
coffee is decaf

wrong side of the bed

groggy and chilly
both dog and wife still asleep
hogging the covers

new alarm clock

...6:30, go back to sleep...
d'oh! alarm's set wrong!
