woke up
new and improved
disabused of
the notion that
my feelings
carry any weight
leaving the
hopelessness
floating in
the chilled
wintery winds
to finally
fade away

a morning’s
affirmation
after an
evening’s
confirmation
i shed my wings
closed my eyes
and let the
wind whistle
a lullaby
to sleeplessness
as i spiral
ever faster
toward a new day
of inconsequence
