And now<\/p>\n
Your moment of joy.<\/p>\n
This marathon is done<\/p>\n
Another bunch of poems tucked away<\/p>\n
Your head hits the pillow<\/p>\n
Your body folds into a soft mattress<\/p>\n
NO STOP<\/p>\n
Not yet<\/p>\n
A moment of joy.<\/p>\n
A pot of coffee<\/p>\n
A cup swirling to cozy quiet<\/p>\n
My eyes drift<\/p>\n
Closing, darkness<\/p>\n
NO STOP<\/p>\n
not yet.<\/p>\n
A moment of joy.<\/p>\n
Garbled words<\/p>\n
Smashing into each other<\/p>\n
Like bumper cars<\/p>\n
I black out<\/p>\n
Silently dreaming<\/p>\n
NO STOP<\/p>\n
Not yet.<\/p>\n
Brass bands<\/p>\n
Drum circles<\/p>\n
Cold water splashing<\/p>\n
That’s better.<\/p>\n
Yes, splashing cold<\/p>\n
Iced coffee<\/p>\n
Bright lights<\/p>\n
Timpanis<\/p>\n
Adrenalin<\/p>\n
Clapping, dancing<\/p>\n
Spinning<\/p>\n
AWAKE!<\/p>\n
