A Letter from These Words to Vi Khi Nao

Thank you for gathering us,
Or some of us, of our kind,
Into your arms. You may croak,

But only if you want to.
We do know insomnia,
Who is also one of us,

And to answer your question,
We do not take vitamins,
Synthetic or organic.

We will come back to bed, but
We will never sleep. We will
Never quite lose our bodies

In your memories, although
We will lose them as we change.
Ok, we’ll stop walking now,

So you can gather again,
Which was pleasant, in a way,
Like being caught in green woods,

So you can gather us up
And murmur insulting names,
Which we are, to what we are.
