Morning Angst

Morning’s Angst Horses of the night took flight; In that after-witching hour pink, Give up the fight and rise, I cry The sun calls as marching suns are prone to do. Shiny men have thrashed beans from bushes, Ships of sailors docked their sails Just for your Styrofoam steaming cup, A steaming cup to ride the day’s rails. Butterflies with their wide black eyes, Circle in the middle fluttering, scaring. Say I, I will have courage face, to stand, If only I know who or what my Goliath is carrying.

This is very unusual in its imagery and I really enjoyed it, Sunlite Warrior! Do I know you from before with a different name? Just curious!

This is very good, Sunlite. Getting up and starting the day is a bummer. I can relate1
