Sing, oh goddess of insomniatic travelers

Sing, oh goddess of insomniatic travelers
sing to me of
quiet rooms
on top floors
end of the hall
away, away from common spaces
noisy guests
dining areas.
Let there be no barking dogs
nearby roosters
party animals of any kind
school groups--or any groups.
Let there be
a fresh breeze through the window
thick walls
and a hard mattress
and most of all
a respite from my Furies.

  1. . . . and a plug for a noise machine
    and double paned windows
    and an air conditioner that makes plenty of whirr
    and nobody staying in the room next door
    or on the other side
    or on the whole floor if possible
    shhhhhh.
