The 365 Project Pt. II

i want to make a day
of sleep and for a night
stay awake wrapped
in a blanket of dark
pierced by silver
freckles of light

when it was over i
would try to remember
every second of
both and try to make
something of it even
if it was nothing

as it is
every day
i feel like
i’m losing ground
i feel like
every day i’m
further behind

just to count hours as if
they were days minutes
or seconds for each
to be lifetimes rising
and falling i would
write their histories

as it is
every day
i feel like
i’m losing ground
i feel like
every day i’m
further behind
