Awake
awash, I awaken
my skin crackled in the sun
my eyes peeled yet unopened
how long have I been under?
raising a head this rock on my neck
the strength of it loosely lifts
how long has the sun been warm?
has the sand been rough?
the wind been so welcome
the sky been so blue?
how long has the moon made such promises
the stars been so vigilant
lost in their light
a drink would be best
but reality tests
how long have I been unaware
how long will I be here?
