Insomnia

I lay awake
Not because
I choose to.
I feel jealous
Of my wife
Fast asleep
Beside me.
Not that
Her snoring
Disturbs me.
But I lay awake
Not out of my choice.
Men (or women?)
In white coats
Flit in and flit out.
I quiver in shingles.
Bundles of dreams
Shining white
Drift in and float out,
Their dead smiles drop
I still lay awake
Not out of choice.
I still lay awake
Sleep still eludes me
They say sleep is
Temporary death.
I feel vexed:
sleep stays away
Does death too?
