[I can t sleep for grief] Poem by Erin Mouré

[I can t sleep for grief]



I can t sleep for grief.
I can t sleep for longing.
I can t sleep for wanting happiness!
Mother, how will I live.
Who will sing a canticle?
The word bower?

(I can t sleep, I don t believe now in service
to the king! The king s a traitor.
He s going to kill what I most love!)
