The Morning After
First I open one eye
slowly, almost painfully
with just as much care
I open the other eye,
for a while I only stare
So this is what the next day
feels like, numb at first
but gradually feeling
begins to reawake
I am aware of things,
of skin and muscles
the moving of each limb,
yes, I am still alive
Memories return to the mind
movement becomes slow,
left in a space of waiting
for answerers to come
Was it all just a dream
or a nightmare,
I feel again like myself
but are things changed
perhaps forever
