The Humble Rock Dove

A Rough Sleep

I’ll happily make bed,
Upon the charred remains,
Of scattered bad habits.

Like stubble,
The brown sharp twigs,
Snap like crackling fires.

I cant take all day,
Sleeping in the midnight sun,
I cant praise,
The moon as i should,
As it faces me by day.

Should life collapse,
I’ll be at home brooding,
With a dog on my lap.

These are words of a janky soul,
Cranky, and not awake before eleven.
