Rest

After planning everything,

after meeting all interruptions,

after swallowing many blues,

I realised:

I came here,

to this unknown city,

to rest.

Rest.

And to sleep,

like a bear in hibernation.

But rest —

how do you rest?

And sleep —

how do you sleep?

I know:

A hot bath.

Dim lights.

Audiobook.

A prayer.

God, I’m so tired.

I want rest.

I want sleep.

I want— I want love.

Amen.
