Dog barking in the night, sleep fractures, eyes squint against the splinters of the light outside, all filled with shadows, strange world of bundled shapes that gather in the dark confounding recognition, nightscape inviting fear so simply conquered go back to bed in search of sleep and burrow deep beneath the sheet.
Excellent!!! You're spoiling me: am starting to look forward to your entries as a daily hightlight. Don't stop writing!!! (PLEASE?!) (Now, where's that "I bow to you" emoticon?)
Me too, what Jackson said! (Although it should be noted that I suspect she also looks forward to your writing as a counterpoint to the inanities of living with yours truly! )

sleep fractures,
eyes squint
against the splinters
of the light
outside, all filled
with shadows,
strange world
of bundled shapes
that gather in the dark
confounding recognition,
nightscape inviting fear
so simply conquered
go back to bed
in search of sleep
and burrow deep
beneath the sheet.
