What There Is

By johntaiyu


And so I wake in bed
at dawn
under knotted covers
the heat blasting from the giant vent by the bed

and sense
what there is
to what there is

stretching the wrists
breathing
listening
thinking

each point
popping out
turned to a thing
blooming and dying

before the next.
