Wakeful

Brian Looney

    Wakeful but drooping, some unending slouch.
    Here the days have weight: back-breaking, sweat-purging. No rest while the hammers ring. The planted acres engulf; I knew it from the first.

    Wakeful but drooping, disastrous fatigue.
    Tunnel vision, seashell voices, silver worms in the periphery. Sometimes fluid, dripping, eased. Sometimes jagged, jouncing, rattled.

    Wakeful but drooping, erratic heart.
    What a pain, pounding hard, rest-rate high. The face is pale, sunk, toil-shriveled, joyless with labor. The whip is coiled, but hangs at ready, sleepless as this wretch.

    Wakeful but drooping, blackout brain.
    Midnight blocks and footsteps ponder, disturbing even still. Eyes can close, but mind the rest. It lifts me from the legs. It feels me weigh it down.
