Open, By: Tim Baker

November 6, 2023 by Tim Baker

Open, By: Tim Baker

Reveal to me the meaning,
Re-veil for me the morning.
As night-fog lifts from my heavy shoulders:
Revive in me the seeking and searching
After horizons of hope.

I wake and the wind-blast
Cuts me open: an ice-finger
Touching my ribcage.
I wince with the pain and turn to face the day.
