tea sans sympathy

tea sitting
staring
squeezing out dark
bitter mornings
tail of wisdom lingers down
the mug
brushes the floor

I am having my first caffeinate drink in six months. It is a cup of English Breakfast tea. I've been drinking decaf coffee lately, but with school starting, I'm going hardcore now!

good morning, monday

what did i do
that made my body so tired
so sleepy
so unable to get by
on five hours
the weekend was not
especially hard
or active
perhaps the sun that burned
the top of my torso
has increased the need
for rest
and healing
or the hormone fluctuations
that make simple disappointments explode
into tears of utter loneliness
could that be it?

Usually going to bed at midnight is enough for me to wake up rested, especially on a Monday. Apparently this is not a hard and fast rule.

good morning

the morning rush.
that last snooze
not necessary
it felt so good
the gym will have to wait.
tomorrow.
definitely tomorrow.

I need to figure out a better way to get my ass out of bed.
