Atmospheric Compression
sleep…
we parted company…for the most part
a while ago
snatches of nap here and there
but a full night’s sleep?
…very rare
disrupted by dreams and thoughts
as I stare at the ceiling
and tossmaybe it’s only my imagination
(but I somehow doubt it)
the world feels…
heavier?
more dense?

I remember seeing gulls in a Costco parking lot in Denver once and being surprised. A long way from the ocean, they were. I wonder if they ever missed the silence of the sea. Great haiku…I can’t seem to get the hand of writing them myself
