climbing to the top

I couldn't sleep 

so I got up for a little bit. 

Went back to bed. 

I climb in bed 

that is against the wall, 

in the dark.

With lack of sleep

I climb and climb

to where my pillow is,

Where I thought it was.

I almost fell off the bed. 

Things I were holding 

fell and 

Crashed down

as I mismanaged 

where the basket was

that is beside the bed.

I had to catch

myself 

as I was falling

again 

And my hubby 

Is 

still 

asleep.

The end
