my head feels as soft as my pillow
malleable and full of cotton
nothing grows in these fibrous clouds
the stringent soap and hot water

trapped in a carnivorous plant
only yielding softness
and a sterilized slate
I should dissolve into slumber
effortlessly
no need to play Russian roulette
early into the morning
