Groggy: Poem 07/21/2021

Pillow Nothings 

Bristling against the big sleep, miffed,
afternoon looms tidal, shadowing prior evening,
yonder engagement driftwood found shore. 

After sweating the lurch I huff visions
more readily, lips numb from spanking teeth, 
engraving maps of Patmos, elevated trains

wind one ear and ring the other. 
Grimase cluster along the lake shore, 
I found a library here, nooks galore, 

I remain the only worm in a nest of burrows.
