achingly rusted bones
bend out of bed
the weight of a full skull
sits heavy in my head
loaded minds roll all the dice
while I slip my body
of flesh onto the floor
eyes closed
I feel it pour
sunlight streams through
spotted window panes
roasting my marrow
like a marshmallow
over open flames
sister sunlight sparkles
her radiant rays
every morning she slides
a folded paper note into my pocket
promising that today is a new day
while sleeping minds
get cleansed in moonlight
the searing sun
prepares her masterpiece
through molten mantles
she shines only on the other side
my fragile metatarsals
will never make their way to her
yet from miles away
she moves me
moves my world
stops every morning
to have a spot of tea with my mind
sipping gently
cooing praises for my waking
demanding that I understand
with all my heart and soul
that darkness does not last forever
and neither will I
but I am here
now
with her
alive
