Circadian Wobble

Circadian Wobble Circadian tripped through a trap door Into amended reality of light and time Where confusion missteps through the waltz of the hours, And intervals of minutes Glare at each other suddenly plucked out of place Leaping into a space reserved for colleagues, Renamed without their permission, Here circadian wobbles in an new identity assumed Where dawn rises in darkness - Dusk becomes twilight – When the morning star collides With alpenglow And sleep eludes the routine of dreamers Rhythm disrupted – Gone the orderly synchronized ballet of hours, In their birth space, Minutes running early Gazing into prophetic confusion Back to days to come Déjà vu unpacked Staggering in crunchy seconds of DLSD Sunlight confused by second hands Not knowing their place In the Circadian scheme or on the face of eternity’s timepiece A standoff in the litany of changing light That lingers just a little longer in the cycle of day and night Surrealist creation longing to hold onto light Until the globe turns its face into the season When time and light re-align.
