Illuminating sunrise violates the silent darkness
Uncovering a quiescent phone that never cedes the long awaited chime
A white angora cat licks the overhanging fingers
Striving to replace the masters unrequited love

Unanswered questions search for merciful revelations
Concerning painful memories of falsely promised vows
An obtrusive alarm signals a return to ordinary subsistence
Awakening the robotic functions of a damaged heart

Fiscal nourishment loudly trumpets its weighty urgency
For meager survival in its purest banal form
Dispirited motives elucidate their fragile state
In unpressed garments that barely comply with society's protocol

Abandoned goals boisterously proclaim their sorrow
Through ominous sighs that permeate the quiet room
Altered customary functions clearly revealed
In the sadly sluggish rising from the solitary hearth
