Labyrinthine
Laboring through the thoughts in my brain
Always keeps me from the sleep I desire.
Breathing unevenly, my body flails from left to
Right, working myself through the troubled maze.
Is my son doing well at college?
Now where did I put my glasses?
Think we will ever conquer COVID?
Hope my aunt will survive her surgery.
Is my mom getting enough company?
Nodding off, just as my alarm begins to charm,
Ending another night of twisting and turning through my labyrinthine mind.
