Yea, I remember very well...
In that mid-night hour
when I was writing
Life's realities
My eyes
heavily with tears
All the words
written in blood ink
washed away
by the flood
of falling tears
Nay, except this one stanza...
' Get up Shauq..
Turn on their lights
For darkness has come
to the houses of Pashtoons'

I understand the jarring feeling that occurs between waking and sleeping. Very strong images! I think the title is perfect. 10
