Goodbye Loneliness

Sleepy. Oh so sleepy. But also afraid to sleep because I might not be able to tell that I am dreaming. Being chased by solitude and half-insanity, and bird feathers that engulf the sky making it white, white, white. So I sit up all night on the porch and watch as the stars shift across the sky. My heart won't stop twinging every time I hear a stray dog bark. I wish morning would come sooner. The moonlight is so heavy.
