[]

sleeping, warm. compromised by the day.
stagger towards the kitchen and the bright.
mug. hot drink. steam on my glasses.
can't see for a moment. don't want to.
don't need to.
i know what this is all about.
stay in the mug. warming palms.
glance at the ceiling.
a note that reads, "keep waking up each day
and getting out of bed."
my handwriting.
done. tough part's over. a deep breath.
now. what's next?
