Hello, Sleep

During the day you tease some
You tease them till they drool;
During your formal hours
You become a demon with two horns.

Without a fight,
You take away what the young one holds;
And when there is no headrest,
You let the old one throw his head away.

When you work with the breeze,
You work wonders;
You tickle the storekeeper
Till the last good is looted.

When you lay your hands on some
They begin to buzz like bees;
Here is the world heavyweight champion
In the middle of my palms!

When life punches my face
I run to you for comfort;
But when I linger in your bosom,
You begin to hack me in bits.
