Coins and Confusion

The nights are restless
when sleep can last forever.
You crawled into my head
and curled in defense,

like a roly-poly I poked,
as dreams invaded privacy.
Why were we on a bus?
Where were we headed

and, why did I beg that man
with handfulls of coin to whisper
something that made you weep?
I consoled you with my embrace,

as I would have done
in our waking hours.  But you
are confined to my nights,
while my days are growing dim.
