Flustered and dazed,
after a much needed
mid-day nap,
I awake with my back
flat on the grass.
A spider crawls
across my shin
all nonchalant.
SMACK!
Its blood spattered
on my knee now.
But still I find joy
simply because where I am,
laying right here,
squinting upward,
gigantic marshmallows
swarm through a pool of blue.
At least
after my sleep,
that’s what I see.
