I rose up
and greeted the sun
with pieces of a smile
My brain fogged over
filled with slithering dreams
made of sap
Dust motes
filled my windows,
golden wraiths
twisting to my heartbeat
Slow-motion thoughts
could not get across
so I sped away
through the air
We met halfway
With stories
And warmth
Busily, I swept away
The lingering
Of cobwebby sleep
My mind rose,
A lazy creature
Warmed by the sun
Into wakefulness

I rose up
and greeted the sun
with pieces of a smile
My brain fogged over
filled with slithering dreams
made of sap
Dust motes
filled my windows,
golden wraiths
twisting to my heartbeat
Slow-motion thoughts
could not get across
so I sped away
through the air
We met halfway
With stories
And warmth
Busily, I swept away
The lingering
Of cobwebby sleep
My mind rose,
A lazy creature
Warmed by the sun
Into wakefulness
