After awakening ... Make the Bed


Slowly, I am awakened.  
Not all at once -- no big ascending boom.  
Insistent whispers, heavy-lidded, 
pull me back.

Breath deepens. Feeling returns,
wordless, undeniable.
Here we are, awaiting nothing.
What would you have
that you don't have now.

It is written: The enlightened do their own laundry.
And so, awakened --
get up and make your bed.
Do it.  Now.
A stormy host of harried dreams advance,
anxious to cloud your sky.
