small comfort in the unknown

sleep arrived fine last night
but departed shortly after midnight
and I could not coax it to return
to save my soul

after hours and hours of
a book and some movies
I did finally drift off
for a short time but

pain in my back roused me
and for several moments
before I opened my eyes
I could not tell where I was
couch or bed, city or country
