an hour to a minute

Thu, 05/30/2013 - 13:02 -- batisit

four in the mornin’
haven’t been sleepin’
since i first realized
that time is a’creepin’

there goes the big hand
holding the small one
“wake up, my darlin’,
we must get a move on”

shakin’ to life
a twist and a bend

she skips off
he crawls along

This was inspired by the dire combination of insomnia, an anxious demeanor, and personal crisis.
