Noise
Ring! Ring! Ring!
That dreaded alarm, like two symbols crashing together.
Far worse than mom’s nagging
Ring! Ring! Ring! Click.
Warm, tight embrace of the blanket made it feel
as if I was sitting in the sun.
Like a butterfly in a cocoon
So relaxed and warm
Safe, soft, sound.
Alas, giving into the noise
Eyes barely open
As if walking in the dark
My fingers search for the switch
Fumbling, grumbling
I woke and walked out the door.
