As I Lay Me Down To Sleep

As I Lay Me Down To Sleep


Last night, head spasms. The unpredictable
unrhythmic head tics and jolts of breath
I try to steady but can't. Felt it come on me
early. Took my medicine. It didn't grow
any wider. I didn't try to fight it. It only
took half an hour for the tics to stop,
for my breath to settle back down into my chest.
Now today. Let's get through it without my body
spazzing on me, okay? Okay brain? My heart
is fine. It's my brain. It's so crowded in there.
