One cup of tea at 8pm
The clock struck
midnight.
Wide awake.
Chemicals
rabble rousing.
Crank.
Crank.
Crank.
Wind me up.
An old alarm clock
ticking.
I need pitch.
Grey matter itching.
My pores are
a billion tiny eyes,
soaking in each
stitch of
wayward light.
Street lamps.
The tiny red ember
of the space heater.
White moon.
I am a rooster
at the ready.
Limbs curled like
spaghetti.
Mouth dropped
open.
Throat full of bells.
I could wake hell.
