Sleep Has No Property

Night came uninvited
Pierced through with stars
Its dream where separate things
Hanging Above

Inside things hum and whir
No calm at all
Sleep has no property
I heard him call
Night came uninvited
Brutal unloved

The moon crept uninvited
Over my sill
To mock me with Its learning
Unsavoury grin
Inside I'd sweat and strain.
No calm at all
Sleep has no property
As I recall
The moon came uninvited
Sallow and grin
