Untied
When sleep gets chopped up
the short sections of rest
tied together can’t pull you
through all the next day.
Their different thicknesses
make your knots slip
and long before sundown
start to give way.

Clever truth!
a fine-tuned metaphor, including the title
great Larry
it’s when we wake up
feeling we’re tied up in (k)nots
Well said!
Love the metaphor of knots, unraveling.
