SHATTERED

SHATTERED


he rails exhaustedly
against
the unrelenting night -

shattered
by restlessness
he groans

a welcome
to a new daybreak
prays that it's not

an uninvited dream -
still rails against
the unrelenting night

then collapses
into sleep

3.00am message to myself

not quite reclaimed
and hopefully
not pre-ordained

I float
or rather limpingly
falter

into that 'outcast' realm
which was the youthful
privilege of choice
