Drift Away

July 26, 2008
By Anonymous

Sleep deprived and over-worked--
Dragging broken bones to bed--
Aching limbs pull up the rags that fight off the evening blanket of frost--
Days follow days--
More work is yet to come--
Eyes only close for what seem like minutes--
And back to work again--
Again! (we cry)--
Waiting for the night's sweet retreat of sleep--
