Let me Help you Sleep

by Dr. Uma Asopa

When you go to bed tonight
take care to remove
the cover

The day has left on it
footprints of unease
like a spider would leave
tangled webs on the ceiling

Sleep deserves a passage
through a clear street -
not clogged
with vehicles of want,
nor flooded with qualms of daylight

Wrapped in the blanket
of a black sky
the stars alone
may lead you through the night.

When you go to bed tonight
think you are a baby
nibbling at the corner
of its pillow -

think of me singing you a lullaby...
