Waking.
Dawn hangs on September trees, wake slithers
forward into sleep\'s acres,
turns shade to tailgates of light over which rays
snipe at quiescence
before sunrise leaps in to move bleary dreamers
like me to bright-eyed doers.
Day breaks to bathe passive sight in forewarning
as blind patches precede
flashes of conscious surrender to oust inertia and
its sweet stupor,
dark casts veils around seeing but breath catches
on when still becomes movement.
Ears mistake sleepy whispers for proactive reality
when shaken sense rouses
to feel Heaven\'s infinity ticking away rested hours
making the richer
seconds remaining for flight\'s drowsy treasure as
night hooks day to its use.
\"Time to get up Dreamyhead I suggest to myself
but please let the alarm clock
try waking me
