Crawling Inside a Poem

Wake up heart! – Judyth Hill Wake up!* Really? It’s been such a night a nd the sheets hum with dreams. You’ve slept too long in the iron bed of yearning,* So sturdy, don’t fuss, it's good for the back. You’ve slept too long, * There you go again - just spoon a minute. The bed clothes are slovenly,* Six hundred count Egyptian cotton never disheveled, try again! Get up and make the bed of a heart,* First, find the heart of a bed, tucked in. The alarm has gone off,* Hickory dickory, push the snooze, put the clock away. What time is it? It is now and you are late!* Never now is always late – go ask Alice.  Ha! I can’t be late for now, you say* Ha! never late is always now. Moons stacked to the sky - climb on, We’ll greet the sun! That’s right!* *from   Wake up heart! By Judyth Hill
