Waking Instructions

I ran across this poem a few weeks ago and sensed its profundity, 
but after yesterday I get it. 


Waking Instructions


Crawl ashore
to the damp beginning of day.

Forget before and after.

Allow yourself
to be spelled differently.

It will feel like falling.

It had waiting attached.


--Emma Mellon
