Someone Who Rises
The girls looks across to her foot as she wakes
The creep of naked moments yanks her brain
She winces at the prospect of reconciling all the earth's bits and pieces
She lies defiantly in bed
Begging for sleep to erase the future's expectations
Except time persists and she feels everyone depend on her presence
To affirm their perceptions
Trembling lover
Determined performer
Bedrock healer
Someone who rises from ashes
