defying atrophy

too quickly passing

Dark
Interrupts
Darker

As in:
it’s time to get up
but oh, god,
PLEASE
not yet.

Where is the sun?

It’s not that I’m depressed.

No. Really.

I’m simply bemoaning
the too quickly passing
of summer’s
early light

And the
coming Darker
which is not sleep.

Summer Solstice
in the rear view.

Equinox
our remaining hope
before

Darker
Interrupts
Dark

And the Summer Sun
Obediently
Slides
‘Neath the
Horizon.

    Relatable. I try not to “future-trip,” but I am definitely not looking forward to the shorter hours of daylight in fall and winter.

    I feel this especially when I want a few more minutes of sleep (which fails to happen). Nicely written!
