One eye opens as
Silence nudges me awake.
No clock. No light. Damn.
Enveloping black.
Sour chirps of smoke detectors
Oh no. Power out.
Timeless dark clocks stare:
An existential time out.
How long will this last?
Dormant furnace ticks.
Wifi OK: a life line
WSBlog is there.
Can’t look in fridge
Oh hell: the enchiladas.
What’s for dinner now?
Pulling covers up.
Heat and light promised later.
Best to sleep it off.
