awake

awake
first light
morning
warmth

the heat
from your
body

outside
the wooden
windows
I see
endless
futures

and inside
this bedroom
where
you lie
with me
I see
hope

hope
and future
are the
sacred elixirs
I drink
to get out
of bed
in this
cold

to walk
on that grey
sidewalk
where grey
people
live grey
lives
demands
something
magical to
drink
