these days

sadness is a quiet boat drifting.
i am on it, in a basket, golden fleece wrapped around.


when my mostly companion has gone
i am then curdling in some timeless day


i have no need of sleep when the heart is broken
i have no need of sleep when the heart is broken
i have no need of sleep when the heart is broken


i have no need for a heart when i have yet awoken
i have no need for a heart when i have not yet woken
i have no need for a heart when i have not yet spoken


spoken in my sleep
spoken in my sleep
awoken in my sleep


is a heart that drifts, a sad boat parched.
