Ode to Insomniac tendencies

Have you ever laid down at 6 a.m.?
your head full of nicotine and caffein -
from cigarettes and coffee,
which you don't remember smoking or drinking?

you can feel it
but wish you didn't have to anymore.
how did you get here?
what kind of decision-making was that?

all kinds of opportunities passed you by
hourly, in fact.
2 o'clock, you still have time?
5 o'clock, home stretch?

you can tell morning is coming
there is no sun,
but the sky is not dark enough to be night -
just by a shade

you complete me

When I finish a shopska
there is a void
dve filiki
they fill the hole

my heart is yearning
that completeness
i desire
sop up the oil,
oh wondrous bread

Ode to Ode Blogs

The blog that begs for odes
we will fill your need
just tell us where to dig -
and we will plant the seed

grow under our watch -
our tender love and care
Odes for odes, and odes of odes
the laws of magic you will tear
