I hate week days and I hate weekends

Draft

And so
Still
I will rise

From unsettling somnambulation that wove through shadowy spectres of my unconscious
From violent vacant visions and slow dance Macabre hunting beneath Lunar glow

I will

Scratch silent the repeat of the turning table and let the rhythm be
Limbs launch me into the ache of awake and march 1,2,3, 1,2,3 into empty

Still

I scribble another cliche on a page that delivers only sighs or the aversion of eyes
As lonely as its producer, pumped out like mass made grief

And so

Lids blink and fingers sink into heavy and disappear into my thinking
Tea. Tea is made and I crease not a smile for weekend’s masquerade
Like this, a lot... I keep feeling there must be a 'here' in final verse. That's the harder part, though, as it imparts what you want.
@MayaHope It's later than the middle of the night. It's neither a mantra, maybe a message, I missed made into a mantra. Just a passage in lyrics from Cohen. The proverbial tea, I think, works the same as the bar.

@thewindupbirdchronicles he was quite the poet. I’m not sure I know as much of his work as you do.

Tea/bar… are you suggesting cocktails? 😝 it’s mid morning here

Later than the middle of the night? Earlier than the morning? The in between ?
@MayaHope I'm suggesting the tea/the cocktail might have the same in meaning.... 😜 Closure from something symbolic.
It's the in between here, and if I don't listen to myself, soon, I'll see daybreak.

I'm somewhat obsessed with him.... saw him live once. A little sage, who in performance, knew how to pull in each in audience. And his words, well some love him, others never got him. I'd say he reintroduced poetry for many.

I see what you were after in your poem, now. 🤗
