Insomnia

not sleeping
again
at least
there are
no nightmares
just an
empty sadness
like the
space between
banjo notes

I’m watching
a documentary
on WWll
old footage
of a
boxcar
full of
dead bodies
piled like
fire wood
in flickering
black and white

and I
know I
should feel
something
but the
lack of
sleep and
the powerful
and  graphic
images only
remind me
that death
looks the
same in
every war.
