Rugged Morning

Numb toes flicker beneath the sheets,

eyelids squabble to unfurl.

The body loathes to give itself a start.
The alarm beckons,
and you shut it up with a tap of a finger.

Not now, not yet - you scream.

The sun's out,rising and shining,

I say - f**k you.
The bed is all I need,

my sweet paradise of comfort.
