I know better
I know better
when sleep evades
hooks snag me
checking headlines
I tumble into hell
migrants harassed,
detained deported
cruel wars
cryptocurrency
that man
and his henchmen
first faint,
the alarm now shrill
shatters the spell
laptop shoved
onto the shelf
select a slender
book of poems
settle in
carried
to a kinder world
Sometimes you just need to switch off the noise - breathe in something better.
