Tired Haikus (Part 4)
Finally. The end of the the week has arrived – and with it the rest of my exhausted poetry.

All I want is to
Go to sleep without dreaming
Can you tell I’m tired?

Can you tell I’m tired?
All I want is to
Wake up once all the work is done
Can you tell I’m tired?

Cooking Pasta for
Dinner at four past nine PM
Can you tell I’m tired?
Thank you God that I
Bought readymade pasta sauce
Can you tell I’m tired?
Now the food is done
But my appetite is gone
Can you tell I’m tired?

Today I drew a
Two-friggen-hour drawing

All over my half-washed hands
Can you tell I’m tired?
But I won’t bother
Taking a shower tonight
Can you tell I’m tired?

the ocean within this shell
