bad doggy dreams
makes him look for comfort
nuzzled awake

I.X
All the same to her are hours of day and night
as she toils with pigments made things at hand
with shuttered windows and fluorescent light
she recognises not the hourly sand.
If sleep she takes (and surely must) she dreams
of toiling with the image on the board
'till neither wake no sleep delay the schemes
the image forms as if by own accord.
Eventually, the work is done at last
and leaves her free to sleep for many hours
and wakes only when hunger gnaws her fast
to marvel at her fever-induced powers.
