A Long Year

24/12/2022 C and K WordsLeave a comment

I hover between sleep and awake, feeling the effects of waking dreams and a death-like calm.

The music presses me on through feelings of exhaustion and stressed-out commitments.

When the song stops, I find myself falling towards the keyboard.

I hover, then give in to my dreams.

A Stressful Week

15/10/202214/10/2022 C and K Words1 Comment

The steady rain turns my mind switch to sleep,
for the week has been hectic and monetised.

Between sleep and awake, I hover in a dream.

A bloke dressed in a sheet talks with intention,
then turns to me and says, “Why the hemlock?”

I awaken and drop my cup.
