UPON WAKING UP TOO EARLY

by James Darman

i have no friends here tonight
just me and the empty wine jug
not even the moon will keep me company
too many clouds
but i hear leaves blowing
and i hear a lone bird whistle
in the dark
as i wait for the sun
to arrive
so i can curse its
black shadow

Chilling in its emptiness as always James. Especially dig the final four lines, brilliant.
