[Flycatcher]

This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.

[BenLurkin]

Waking up is harder than it seems;
wandering through these empty rooms of
dusty books and quiet dreams.
Pictures on the mantle
speak your name
softly like forgotten tunes,
just outside the sound of pain.
