Oyster, Sand, Pearl

Lifepoems

Lying naked in the dark,
the sharp light pierces my defenses,
though Ive tried my damnedest
to keep it out.
Some voiceless running water,
a flush,
the sound of hot steam being shoved away
by the reluctant coffeepot
whose veins have only ever run with water,
five minutes,
and finally, another flush.
I know that means hes making tea,
and though I sit unverified,
I can swear that hes a vampire.
Its almost A.M., and hes having a cup
to RESTORE his vitality, instead of
giving in to his weariness, like any normal
daywalker.
The photon armies retreat, having successfully
impregnated my pupils
with alertness and tension,
and I am left lying here,
completely naked,
to slip into the recesses of the mind.
