To the Roaring Wind
by Wallace Stevens
What syllable are you seeking,
Vocalissimus,
In the distances of sleep?
Speak it.

Can't sleep?
A Remedy for Insomnia
by Vera Pavlova
Not sheep coming down the hills,
not cracks on the ceiling—
count the ones you loved,
the former tenants of dreams
who would keep you awake,
once meant the world to you,
rocked you in their arms,
those who loved you . . .
You will fall asleep, by dawn, in tears.
