early.

i'm not wide awake, but it is morning
my feet tingling under my body screaming
WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
eyelids skillfully sliding their way open
eyes screaming for dark again
sliding closed once more
it is simply too early, my
inner tells me dreams swooshing back
into place as i start plundering
head first in the syrupy beginnings of
sleep once more

not today
must wake up
because today is the day we
revive relive and release
fly up fall down and jump 10x higher

today is the day we reach the moon with our
ink stained fingers and our
ratatat beating hearts

today we will live forever


so wake up sleepy body
lazy fingers
cozy toes

it is time to wake up
