Today I Awoke Poem by Ben Gieske

Today I Awoke



(Inspired by John Lathan’s art, “The N-U Niddrie Heart”)

I awoke in a stream of rays.
Laid my Pregnant Survivor’s Manual
on the edge of the rug,
gave it a quick tug.
At the other end
I placed my book of Vanished Species,
Then squatted in between,
gave myself a hug
And felt just like today.
