Upon Waking

Upon Waking

Rousing slowly from a drowsing sleep
Still faint and frowsing
Morning light insinuates itself
Creeping unbidden under gummy eyelids

At the liminal edge of dawn
The last lingering strands
Of imaginings and of rambling dreams
Stretch taut like piano-wire, gently snapping

The final frayed threads of contact
With troubling night-time places
Receding, fading, disappearing
Among the jumble of tangled bedclothes
