Poem: Awake

Awake 

heart beating
beneath laced fingers 

quiet rise
and fall of breath 

sunlight streaming
through the blinds 

sparrows chirping
faintly on the fence 

morning doves cooing
in the lemon tree 

woodpecker tattooing
a utility pole 

surface traffic
sighing past the window 

steady hum of freeway
in the distance 

eyes open 

awake!
