Too Restless to Sleep

The imagery in the poem is great.
The theme is creative.

unmoving

The wild trees
bare of leaves
seem like insomniacs --- 'seem like' does not sound poetic as compare to the 2 lines before this.  maybe you can replace this with something more poetic?
 
It is near dawn
I stand in the dirt
shifting from foot to foot
knowing the end
will be nothing like this
