Embryonic Light

thought
pushed me awake
for the seventh morning
in the embryonic
light
of 5 AM
I laid like a new born
batting my eyelashes
looking around
solving problems
that wouldn't get solved
the twilight
shined in blue over
the couch
and living room
giving the impression
that it was off-limits
this time of day
was for the light
not for the human
I was intruding
in the silence
and gentle opening
of the day
my steps were loud
my movement too rapid
