(2013)
Poem about feeling extra sleepy early in the day.
The words are muffled and shifting… The pounding won’t stop, the fraye… I hold onto a thread, a little blu… The tension is mine; it is a pain… Frenzied energy drains from my fin…

Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
