Five thirty in the morning laying wide awake, Mouth feeling parched like the desert, bladder like a lake, Close my eyes and try to doze, it’s too early not to be comatose, Curled down on my side, breathing deep,buying more time for dozy snooze, Ah mind has other ideas, going over issues raising fears, Bladder… Continue reading Five thirty in the morning
