I <3 lie-ins
Wake up, the screen is shining,
The daily march is dawning,
Wake.
Drooping eyelids, yawning,
Stretching, checking
Facebook.
Wake, the screen is glaring
At you. No news.
Wake, to go tearing
Through the hours,
Wake, fulfil the twilight promise
With newly promised powers:
That new energy, and meaning.
Show yourself you were not dreaming
Those resolutions, or that resolve.
And then turn, tired, in your bed:
Turn, yawn, dissolve
Into the sheets.
Rest your head and curl your feet
Around hers. Dissolve
Into the soft and warm
Of her arms, and curl your feet
And sigh that she’s not there,
It’s the lonely pillow’s heat.
