Tatum's Tortured Twilight Time
tossing and turning over...

Midnight Mind Graffiti


With heavy eyes, we fall asleep
in glimmers of twilight.
On a launch that's swift, we're set adrift
across the dreamy night.

The Shuteye Thieves hide in the shadows
of the trancelike zone,
to bring onslaughts of waking thoughts
from places, times unknown.

They splatter sounds and scenes
across the landscape of your mind
to show replays from younger days
you thought you left behind.

These interlopers of the night
hold slumber in their power;
and in they'll creep to steal your sleep,
up to the waking hour.
