Daylight is extending here in the North but still, getting up, slithering out of a warm bed, and getting dressed, can be stressful, evoking philosophical thoughts …
ON GETTING DRESSED
I struggle into underwear
of secret hopes fears
embarrassments
shrug into work shirt
so that others may know
my day is not idle
step into jeans that I
may stride from sink
to workshop accidents
remember watch rings
earrings that I may be
decorated with fantasy
