Glide
Eyes open wide
She checks the clock
Five more minutes
Is what she wants
What she needs
Is a greater pull
Feet touch the floor
Toes curl
Big stretch
Eyes half open
Light flicks on
Splash of water
Thinks of bed
Teeth brushed
Hair put up
Eyes open again
Clothes laid out
The night before
One sleeve
Then the next
Tired eyes
Start to progress
Stairs creak
Knees crack
She’s almost there
One more step
Door opens
Cool air across her face
Eyes wide open
She feels alive
She feels free
She glides
