sleepy (until)

^{sleepy (until) – 19/03/2023}

and mine
is a town
that sleeps only
sometimes

sometimes
when it’s late
at night

then
until tomorrow

stifling yawns
at first signs
of light

there is gold
on her streets

but
nothing
is moving

only one car
away
to wodonga
or
perhaps into dawn
into sun
into day

perhaps
it is time

wake

wake

up and shine

my little town
is deep
into snoozing
on sunday morn

even the clock tower
cannot be heard
ticking
not
since nineteen
ninety-nine

so much
for time

so much
for care

turn your face
from the day rise
turn time
back to darkness
then
go on back
to bed

sleepy town
dream on
until the sun warms you

reach then
for coffee

aaahhh

more coffee
aaahhh

ah
