#2,413 Breaking
I will now sleep alone without
disquiet’s auld inflammations
keeping me aware
[less hours
burning thoughts] –
Waking’ll
meet my regular confusion of
time & place
[a short breath &
then I identify myself] –
I’m met
by that lifting of quiet sunlight
& my dog’s needy whimpering
from beyond my still bedroom
[rising is less quick –
thought’ll
hold me] –
So I am yet to wake
with any day set at my behest
