I actually wrote this in December about the time that I had three assignments all due on the same day. I spent the time in the library all night until the first bus in the morning at about 5:35. I wrote this one as I climbed into bed at, that's right you guessed 6:18 AM.
As stars flutter their final hooray,
over still streets as new light breaks,
sharp caffeine drifts away
through sleepy footsteps
comes forward the inescapable day.
Finally down into self regulated warmth,
the mind bruised, tired and torn,
all the tirade of word fueled surrender,
the unsympathetic birds salute an infant dawn.
For me it's the end
rest for a while
burrow downwards
and eventually sleep and smile.
