the shrill, strident signal screaming
in my ears striving to shatter
my eardrums a typical start to
a new day hearing my bones crack
and creak insisting I vacate my bed
my mind murmuring to me
keep your eyelids sealed
downing my cold morning medicine
a chloroform to silence the murmur
I force myself to bid a gloomy farewell
to my warm blankets who had wrapped
me in comfort through the night
