Violent
Chest bump
Waiting
Praying
For that
Thump thump
To return
Come on heart
It is your turn
To once again
Pump blood
To limbs
Limp
And heavy
In their need
For oxygen
I don’t want
To sink
Close the shutters
Retreat
In
I don’t want
Lightning
Lighting the way
Sparking
Wildfires
In its wake
I want heavy eye lids
Flutter
With a sip of coffee
And a kiss
And a
Time to wake up
Face the day
Hunt
And gather
And rest
Exhausted
And full
At the fire
At the end
Knowing
How
And why
And what
To do
When day
Breaks
Again
