Insomnia

 

She crawls into bed
beside me. Her body
against mine restive
indecisive  

All I can do is

                           the

         watching                        digital

 keep                                       clock            

          until

                                                  the

                                    numbers

                          justify             

getting out of bed

I found this poem in Second Glance, a novel by Jodi Picoult. I have barely changed the text, except to arrange it into a part ‘shaped’ poem.
