Over Tired
Tired is an insufficient word
to express
The buzzing-hollow-drained feeling sometimes
leftover from a night’s unrest,
A night when strangers
stage dream interruptions
walking though a set not meant for them,
startling the dreamer,
A night of lingering spirits
of an unrecalled past
who are unrepentant in their repetitive passing
up and down the creaky floorboards,
the product of a sensitivity to souls
or an exhaustion-striped imagination,
either way,
equally real,
and
raptly unfinished.
