Poems
Dec 2013
In Waking
I have been awake for two days
I think
I can see more clearly now
What I thought I could before
As I fight to focus my brain
On the colours in the whitewash
And that β that is a giraffe
With a balloon
And that one person on your mind
Who you have not thought on for at least
A few minutes
I think
And the words are blurred
Clear and concise
Forced together
From a string of consciousness
I lost somewhere Thursday night
As I looked at the back
Of your head
And thought
Of how clear it all was
As my head hit the pillow
And I was up again
To rush about the day
In slow motion
And talk to no one
And not sleep
For two days
In order to create
This
*And whatever else
