INKTOBER 2018: Exhausted, Day 7

Art and Poem by Miguel Guerreiro Lourenço

To suit a long week, day 7's prompt for Inktober was Exhausted. I drew a cute lil' red panda sleeping off his tiredness as much as I wish I could. The poem I wrote was a simple piece on a good night's sleep. Below is the transcription:

the feeling of taking your socks

off in bed, naked skin on

clean sheets.

the cold side of a fresh pillow,

sweet dreams with no recurrent

worries. in sight.

rarer are these nights nowadays,

but I embrace their comfort still,

whenever they wish to visit.
