Insomniac's Lullabye
listen
rain is falling outside
your window
whispering
a song you half remember
the radio plays in the next room
soft-focus NPR voices but
pretend you cannot understand them
a language you half forget
listen
you are falling asleep
the way you fall in love
reluctantly
frogs are calling in the grass
rising and falling
with every breath
listen
the rain has stopped
or maybe
you've fallen
asleep
