the Morning After


Here it is.
Here is the little hole in your warmest socks.
Here is the emptiness of ice.
Here is the sound that loneliness makes.

There it goes.
There is the sun drunk with days whirling.
There is the delirium in sultry fever.
There is the aching overwhelming, blood returning.

That was the anaesthesia.
Here is the morning after.
