lonely hours
the First Noble Truth
takes on new resonance
when illness or fear
keep rest at bay
it requires
a certain pragmatism
to endure
hydrate
piss
lay down
clear the mind
sleep
wake up
repeat
it is not
the big questions
of Purpose or Meaning
that offer solace
but base necessities
that mitigate dread
during the long night
