August Poetry Postcard Challenge – Day 4

I am participating in the August Poetry Postcard Challenge this month. Each day, I send a new postcard with a poem on the back to a recipient on the group list.  We began on July 27, but I am posting these a few days late, so that my pen pal can see them first. Enjoy!

What I Know About Missing Sleep

I wake to a rounded world
where even my walk wobbles.

I weave around corners, careen
from moment to moment

without memory. I find myself
in a room I barely recognize

wondering how the world was wrapped
in cotton, without me ever knowing.
