Integral Mornings

I have always been scared of you With your smile battering my alarm clock All daisy chains and good day sunshines You suffocate me, let the midnights prevail I dislike your force Your goodness appears false Injected with such sickness Anxiety, shivers beneath my quilt You turn out your colour Inviting me into your orange sunsets Promising flickers of contentment It exhausts me to watch you I am a night sky Lying in its bed of quiet repose Alone and forgiving of ferocious mornings Tolerate of your broken gravities

Jo, this is a wonderful description of the way "night sky" dislikes the sun. Isn't it awful the way morning "batters" our "alarm clocks"? Very amusing! (FYI - I'm the moon child.) Love, Carolyn
