in a land of too many addresses
I am always a visitor
I am always a visitor
in a time of too many goodbyes
I am always afraid
sleep is my immense leap into time,
into self-addressed prayer
in the small hours, who is not alone
my self-portrait asks
my self-portrait asks
_________
Note: I think I need another stanza or two here, but I'm going to go to sleep :). It's so, so, so late (past 4:00 am) and I have to leave at 7:00 to get to an 8:00 am meeting, so even without helping Nu with getting to school, my margin of sleep is running perilously low. This is my "self-addressed prayer" and the panicky calculus of my remaining waking minutes...

Sleep more. Nice photo.
Ugh, I don’t know how you run so hard on so little sleep. Sweet dreams.
Gillian and Sarah--I do need to sleep more.
I made a mistake in today's early morning meeting that was embarrassing...
