AWAKE

The dust particles in the air
bend in the light. Maybe the doors
and the ceiling do, too. But how
hard do you have to listen?

Guidance constantly falls
like rain, you’re bound to catch in your hand
a drop that will carry you
along your way. Everything will be
fine. But what if, on the
other side of the glass, you see
all the drops
you could have caught?
