SUBMERGED MORNING

Morning goes through the window

inside

unsuitable intruder in my night's

memory

as it was

intimate

in the daily repetition

habit.


Because all repetition

is monotonous

despite the sun'

shine

I know the light that stays licking my wounds

of soul

once more

awaken

for the shadow's

routine.
