In the Waking

It's in the waking
[it's hell]there inside
my body reminding me
I am still me,
still trapped inside
a broken body. It's
life's hangover
bedridden and cringing,
tears burning as my eyes well.
E s c a p e becomes
the word to roll around
in my mind, to beg at
and fantasize with.
It's in the waking
[it's hell].
I taste
the dry death,
gone stale like the bread
never touched on a table
in the prisoner's cell.
