In The Morning

In The Morning

in the morning
as you wake
who is it you face
is it an empty pillow
or is it the person inside
the that never hides
in the morning
as the day breaks and you wake
fate is already up and about
cleaning its face
checking where you lie
so it knows your place
nothing stays the same
so face to face with yourself
in the morning
when there is nobody else


James Garratt – Sunday 1st February 1998
