I woke up clothed
The things I put nightly
Must not be what I wear
I woke up clothed belongs to the following groups:
RedBubble NudeI woke up this morning
feeling fully clothed
It seems I had a heavy sweater
woven in my dreams
How could I have slept
the whole night through
wearing these boots?
I asked myself
And then
I looked into the mirror
saw the mask on my face
wandering about the shame
How is it that my shirt
is smooth
as though it’s been pressed
And yet my heart has wrinkles
my conscience not awake
I feel an anger
matching the hat
I always wear
Why did I sleep
with eyes closed
when dark glasses I wear
All these questions
woke me up, not the clock
And then I thought
Maybe if I tear
everything off
Leave nothing to wear
Maybe if I go nude
I’ll shed
The guilt, the sadness
the shame
the fear
and all the rest
And dare go naked
For all the world to attest
