When Dreams Escape
Half empty cup
 of ice cold tea
 on the nightstand 
 
 blocking the clock
 that reads 
 sometime past 12
 
 blackness
 except for the periodic glow
 from the window
 
 a restless head
 up and down
 from the pillow
 
 a restless brain
 coaxed away 
 from sleep by
 
 undefined thoughts
 circling
 until
 
 somehow
 they come out through
 hastily written notes 
 
 dreams wait 
 lingering on the edges
 for their moment 
 
 the only time when dreams escape
