Bright, violent sunlight
enters my bedroom.
Unfettered, unbothered, it
illuminates my crusty eyes
and my unshaven face.
Energized I stand
and spin around.
Tired, hopeless, I crash.
First against the nightstand.
Then against the dresser.
I end up on the floor,
bruised and bloodied,
wishing I was sunlight,
and nothing more.
