for a friend: "Awoke in a daze. 6:31, grey sky. Promising rain but only giving wind. My face won't wake up.  Droopy eyes for another human face. My lids won't open, they know no one is around. Water with ginger, eyes glazed. I stare at the coffee pot, grabbing it. Twisting it open with the day's first act of force. Emptying the spent grounds into the sink. The water washes it down the drain. Look out. No rain."
