Franken Berries

From lackadaisical 
slumber,
she wipes sleep
into attentive weariness. 
Rods and cones hungry
for dual energies. 
Sloughing dispassionate dreams 
into an imposing quiet. 

Chirping from the live wire. 
A big bronze bull
stampeding air. 
She pulls from 
tight stiffness  
with crackling dendrites. 

I’ll take her to church.
