I get started
I get tired
This is something new
Age or medications
Take your pick
But sometimes when I’m
Relatively still
My eyes want nothing more
Than to close
And sometimes I follow through,
Which is also something new
x
I set aside my small machines
Stretch out with
A pillow
Here or there
Close my eyes the way
My grandfather closed
His,
Afterward
Saying
Just resting my eyes

While watching the lions on the right and 100 meters far from us, we did not see this nice guy was sleeping 3 meters next to us in the bush on the left side of our car. But he did awake gently . . .
