I yearn but little for
my comfy bed when night
has fallen. Yet
I yearn greatly
to remain there
cratered pillow
wrinkled sheets and all
when my alarm clock chimes.
Rest’s insipid promise
fails to motivate
while that of rising
bright as it might be
engenders skepticism...
as if either could
finally be avoided
more than once.
