And now
Your moment of joy.
This marathon is done
Another bunch of poems tucked away
Your head hits the pillow
Your body folds into a soft mattress
NO STOP
Not yet
A moment of joy.
A pot of coffee
A cup swirling to cozy quiet
My eyes drift
Closing, darkness
NO STOP
not yet.
A moment of joy.
Garbled words
Smashing into each other
Like bumper cars
I black out
Silently dreaming
NO STOP
Not yet.
Brass bands
Drum circles
Cold water splashing
That’s better.
Yes, splashing cold
Iced coffee
Bright lights
Timpanis
Adrenalin
Clapping, dancing
Spinning
AWAKE!
I liked how you wouldn’t let yourself fall asleep. And how cosy coffee changed to iced coffee. Kudos, for writing this so brilliantly, the way you’d doze and droop and then jolt awake!
