The alarm goes off,
like a slow, taunting dripping faucet
and I stretched from
Adam to Eve.
Inhaled the brisk air,
From eyes to toes it fills me,
It rushes through my lungs,
my air capacity filling
I let out a sigh,
bid my farewells to the dreams of the night
as they danced away,
into black and white
their colours faded
into fuzz
like an old, useless
television set--
static.
I embraced my elbows,
hugging them like a friend
my fingers trace the pattern of the down comforter
something to heave me back into rest
I am daring, swift
loving steadfastly
blank, empty stares,
but seeing everything
His smile doesn't overflow
into a cute mess
It's wide and averse,
it's strong
I realize I am once again dreaming.
And the vines expand,
entwining though
freshly painted windows.
