A Dark Shadow

Many of you will know
what this is like

You wake
Check the clock

Morning
is still a long way off

A crowd has gathered
inside your head

They are whispering
about all the things
you need to sort out
in the near future

Your recent past is no comfort

It stares, unflinchingly,
back at you

It is a dark stain
on the wall of your memory


That Day Is Done
