Call it ‘nostalgia’
Or simply ‘longing’
It outwits my mind
It outsmarts my heart
It tickles my soul
Usually
Before I meet Somnus
When I decide to call a day ‘a day.’
It teases this mind;
It punishes this heart;
It torments this soul...
Then it pauses...
for a while
for a long
long while...
though my hyperactive mind refuses to sleep
my weary eyes opt to reject light
and my body savors respite…

Homesickness…sleep!
