sleep and the psyche
sleep is my canary
in the coal mine of my psyche,
I drop below the surface
and, after a time, can emerge back into consciousness
gasping in doubt and darkness,
or I can’t seem to close the gate and drop below,
with a nameless fear of what I will find just below,
my psyche emotionally charged
and ready to be hijacked,
thank God my hijackers are often joyfully friendly.
