early morning lamenting the dawn

listen, dears,
who dream life out

a new morning
for each
of your anxieties

warm sheets a carved pillow--

cuddled, comfort
generally leers
at us

from the other side of

the bed we were never comfortable in
sleeping on shards
of the sun-
bleached apocalypse tomorrow
morning
          an echo of each former day
          sleeps with us:

we too have seen affliction

we grew accustomed to the darkness

our eyes have not adjusted to the light
