Far Worse

if birdsong doesn't help what else
can I do or say thought my enemy
words idle arrangements of letters

day distracts me while it wanders
forward hours demanding actions
constrained like a too small valise

not the future but the now impels
vain flight into dark unbreathing
would be far worse if it was bad

do I dare go back to bed beside
myself squirm against gravity's
unavoidable unwinding descent
