long night
rolling over
the same old troubles
—CHRISTOPHER PICKSLAY
Sorry to hear about your sciatica. It's bad enough being troubled in your sleep over business and/or family issues, but something physical stopping you as well, it's plain awful.
So sorry to hear you are in pain. This is a highly relatable ku for anyone who has trouble sleeping for any reason, but as Alan has said, when the pain is physical it is truly horrible. A simple, but strong, poem.

I can identify with this one Christopher. Lately it's the weather keeping me awake.
Here in the Northeast the snow just won't quit.
blizzard warning
snowplows rumble
through my dreams

Thanks Kathe. Lots of fitful nights lately with sciatica pains. I wrote a lot of bad poems about the ticking of clocks.
