A poem to sum up my feelings in this post.
More broken sleep
I couldn’t settle down last night and got up a few times to look out at the incredible sky full of stars. I didn’t see any shooting ones. When I finally got to sleep, my dreams were so full of poetry, and anxiety that I wouldn’t remember them, that I kept waking up, trying to […]

I have also found […]
