Still Sleepy (but cannot sleep)

a red rose with
sixteen petals
dew on one of those
three leaves
seventeen thorns
a blue butterfly fluttering
and now hovering
proboscis
connecting

dawn, cold air
twilight, light seeping in
my mind
three hundred sheep
i am still not asleep

in my mind
light, warm light breaks in
through the shutters
of my mind ....
