She Writes in Her Sleep

That moment when head hits pillow, 
body meets bed, comforter, clean sheets—

shift, wiggle, land. Eyes close,
breath deepens, crickets lullaby,

the hard, hard day slowly 
slips, drifts, 

you are no one here,
nothing to do, no one to be,

no way 
to get it wrong.

You fall back into the night—
and do nothing but rest.
