Oh dear, tomorrow's here.

As my personal witching hour approaches
My early 4:48 psychosis
My breath comes thick
Not with memory exactly
But more a reflexive dread
And excitement
A compulsion perhaps
Sometimes I sing
My song to the faraway sailor
To keep him safe from the black hags
that do be flyin’ on the sea
Most of the time I am silent
Defiant
Or simply tired
Or blissfully unaware
There are weeks
There are months
Where I do not blink at this time
Where I’m far too occupied
But lately I’ve been embracing regression
And warming to that lullaby
Again
I fear I’ll break the spell
If I set it on the page
Thus am I held in thrall -
Thus, and that I wouldn’t let them
Cut that candle
