Morningwatch

Found myself again on the morningwatch
For those of us who cannot sleep
Just because of the things we've done
Wake up early with the starlings
And as night's sins fade away
And bee stings lose their swell

So begins my day
So ends my hell

And as night falls
I prepare my bed and
Curse the pillow's stony lies
For just as sure as my body begs for rest
I'll be up before the sunrise
