Man Sleeping by Morris Graves
silent mornings make no sense
every waking needs noise
clocks and coffee pots
birdsong and bone creaks
the cough up of phlegmatic dreams
so this silence must signal I’m dead
unless it just means
that it’s not quite yet morning
for soundlessness perfectly
suits my insensible nights

Oh my, I don’t remember this gem–WOWZA! Waking is my least fave part of the day–doesn’t matter what time it is, the transition never goes well.
