the sunlight drizzled
syrupy and surreptitious
in colorless saturation
as i lay unmoving after
a long night of unrest
unfazed by the new phase
of an old routine rerun

the sands of time taken
home beneath my eyelids
to smooth the oblong lens
sighing sightless sorrow
as the sparrows trumpet
another goddamn sunrise

a sculpture of torment
in reserved rigidness
hastily chiseled by this
somnambulistic sculptor
a rambling preamble of
disambulatory aimlessness
restrained by ephemeral
chains of crystal disdain
