Clock
Slept in
to 10:23 a.m.
Needed it.
Asa was talking to me
at 6 a.m.
I was so tired
I couldn’t respond…
And,
they,
my dreams,
were pulling me back
into them.
He wakes up,
between 4 and 6 a.m.
each morning,
to feed
his business and financial anxieties.
He lets the reins of
negativity and hopelessness
loose,
and the beast
of despair
plunges him into
conflicted mindstreams.
He hurls rocks toward
himself,
as he projects
frustration,
into his opening hours
