My sleeping has fled from me
Daddy, come and lull me
Mommy is in paradise
Mommy is in paradise
My sleeping has fled from me
Daddy, come and lull me
Mommy is in paradise
Mommy is in paradise
I lie down in bed,
I name the sheep
And I count them one by one
My pillow,
My confessional
Of tears
Commonplace
It is in giving that we receive
I’ve received and gave just so much
Intergalactic trip
In time
My sleeping has fled from me
Daddy, come and lull me
Mommy is in paradise
Mommy is in paradise
My sleeping has fled from me
Daddy, come and lull me
Mommy is in paradise
Mommy is in paradise
On the mirror, the dark circles,
The aging
From the last excursion
Me at the mercy of Narcissus
Who loves himself
And hates being denied
The pen ink has dried up
Because of so much writing
Existence’s pages, drafts,
Mine
[…]
My sleeping has fled from me
Daddy, come and lull me
Mommy is in paradise
Mommy is in paradise.
