Four Poems by Amy MacLennan
Up
Most times the alarm cuts through,
high tones that jerk me
to sudden morning. It takes a weekend
for honest waking, the swim up
through a wild league of ocean,
last breath of sleep to carry me
from the reaches, ears ringing, just
a blur left from the quieting city below.
