And so I wake in bed
at dawn
under knotted covers
the heat blasting from the giant vent by the bed

and sense
what there is
to what there is

stretching the wrists
breathing
listening
thinking

each point
popping out
turned to a thing
blooming and dying

before the next.

recylcled points of view before they march to the grave.... just a line the end made me think of, this was fantastic... i always find your work to be a bit more reflective and intellegent than what i am used to reading around here -cloud
