Fertile Insomnia

I woke up stark
naked and raving,
choking on words
that have begged to be born.

I have been fooled by your humor,
by your attentiveness,
and am more a slave to your mistress
than you...
She with two names
and countless functions,
who weaves a smokey false halo
around your polluted head.

I am sobered and saddened
by the addictions encircling me.

Pregnant with delusion
and contradictory hope.
