Challenge

Challenge

As light pushes its way out of darkness,

My brain and body push their way out of sleep.

I always wonder in that place where the sun

Is just ready to jump into the sky

Just how much of me there will be today.

Then beyond the first twenty brutal steps

Where the pain is the distillate of darkness and

The sun is in my eyes, there I take account

Of the challenges I’ll face today,

I remember I dreamt of horses at the carwash.
