Haiku - Conscious



pain presses pulsates
through muscle sinew and bone
mind flickers through night

dawn comes sniveling
bruised red and torn yellow
like blooms after rain

light prises open
the carapace of shadows
sentience at last

  3. Wow! What a terrific description of climbing out of the unconsciousness of sleep! Loved it especially "dawn comes sniveling" Sometimes it is like that!!

    How well I know this and how it skews all I must greet: the dawn, the light and shadow, the mind.
