To Wake Up To
by Alan Harris

The world disappeared entirely for a few hours. Gone. Where were you? Don't say, in your bed. You were down in up under beyond worlds. You took the whole shebang off like your socks and went deep into nowhere. I was there too, but I didn't see you-- or anyone else. Dead into a most alive life we sank. Dark into a colorless light. Reincarnation, is there? Every day, let's say. Your bed was pregnant all night with you, but now, in the morning, cut the cord, breathe today's first breath, cry quietly with first muscle, and go. There is go, and we must. There is day, and we mount it. It's all a ride but we must pedal, a pleasure but we must groan. Welcome back to your thatness after a blissful this. You have made it possible for there to be whatever humanness is, and so have I, and every each of us in our nowhere core. |
From the book Knocking on the Sky (1997-1998)
