Through the night,
some time
awake and wondering,
as often I do,

What am I missing?

Routine occurrence.
Random shame,
specifically
of nothing.

Why do I wonder?

Dreams restore,
remind us what happened,
when and why who
said what.

Why do I not remember?

Insomnia illustrates little
of what it should.
If I wasn’t awake
now and again.

What am I missing?
