Blessed earplugs

Sleep may come or it may not

I have peculiar ears

Like those of a fox

Every slither of a grass snake, every soft foot-fall of the tiny mouse

Nearly drives me insane with their insistent intensity

Carrying my mind away with imagined horrors outside my front door

Every night. Every night. The noises. The sounds collude to terrify me
