Daylight Saving Time
Hello morning
open my eyes
pull open the blind
from this darkness.
I need saving
from this blinding night.
What’s your shadow?
Illness
depression
anxiety
confusion
misdirection?
I’ve fallen into these dark goblets
crowded, muted - howling their darkness,
misguided by the misguided -
friends, kin, lovers,
all the screaming screens.
It is daylight saving time.

I've had a six week bout with "health issues." I'm ready to emerge from this cloud. Aside from that, over a lifetime, like everyone, I've been through regions of darkness. I just woke up this morning with this term, daylight saving time and thought it might be an interesting theme for a poem.
