Poetry Prompt: Falling Asleep or Waking Up

A liminal state,

Falling asleep,

In between the states of

Asleep and awake

A watched awake

Never falls

A watched sleep

Never wakes

Always falling

Always waking

Where lies that pinpoint?

Sometimes we feel the waking

A muddled dream reality

Mixed like concrete

concretion of wakefulness

Until fully alive again

Why do we never feel the falling?

Is it so frightful?

So Terrible?

The erasure of who we are

"La petite mort"

The little death

Our being rebels

Every falling

Why can't I embrace it? Because there is no I in death
