The First Moments of the Day

I don’t understand
But I don’t need to
Understand
Every day is brand new
That brief moment
As I open my eyes
I am a clean slate
Clean
Thoughtless, without feeling, emotionless
Without disruption to my mind

Watching the sun
Peek through my blinds
And suddenly my comforter feels warmer
And my day must begin
The influences
From days and nights before
Creep in
And my slate
Is no longer clean
