“FIRE ALARM” 27-10-97

every morning
i keep forgetting
why I want to surface
and breathe underslept
once again wrenched
out by the alarm
where is the fire?
has somebody died?
from the seas of calm
to a hurricane
the eye gone blind
I cannot justify
to myself
with my feelings
sometimes it hurts just to be alive
