Waking

It’s that dawn again
fingering the window blinds
loosening the darkness
from my eyes
I let go the dreamscapes
the fading strands

If life is
a near death experience
let me drink the light until I drown
race the blood in my veins
pound the earth with vibrato
dig, dig, dig to China
plumb somersaults all the way down

I’ll shelter in the rain shadows
the downpour’s glow
and hold you
like this
in my arms
