“Going Back to Sleep” by Molly Brodak

I hadn’t heard of Molly Brodak until a pages of The Cipher appeared on my Twitter stream. I ordered the book (though, I haven’t yet read it) only to learn it was published posthumously.

So for today’s poem, I have chosen “Going Back to Sleep” by the late Molly Brodak, as read by Robert Vaughan for his National Poetry Month 2020 YouTube video. Please enjoy.
