and huddles down lower in his nest
waiting a reason to leave the warmth
eyes clinching shut against the brightening light
ears pricking towards to ascending sounds
the animal awakes in the cold of the winter
reluctant to start the impending day
waiting until the last moment to leave the bed
fingers clutching the wisps of the blankets
thoughts grasping at the fragments of dreams
the animal awakes in the cold of the winter
cracked lips parched tongue in thirst
waiting for the moisture to free the voice
lips pursing to expel the words
teeth grinding to try and hold them in
the animal awakes in the cold of the winter
a twinge of hunger just enough to notice
waiting for the time when it is unbearable
desires overwhelming the comfort
needs building until safety is no issue
the animal awakes in the cold of the winter
and nestles down lower in his bed
waiting with no reason to leave the warmth
eyes curtained against the brightening light
ears blocked at the descending of the sounds
jeg 12/15
