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

ReplyDeleteWow! 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.
Nice set ... for some reason, I really like the word, sniveling ... I should remember to use it sometime!!! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLovely set specially the second one - dawn as bruised red and torn yellow is dazzling ~
