between sleep and hope

I wake
systems reboot
recalibrate
each time the transformation
of comatose body
is slightly more wrenching
requires more effort
aching sinews
sluggish mind peers around ~ blinks ~ the switch thrown slower
but I rise!
I rise!
stumble more each morn
but
I do not curse the light
but
take a deep breath
give
thanksgiving
for another day with friends
