Week 16: When He's At The Door and You've Slept Too Late

4/22/2015

Wake up, wake up,
we’re waiting,
it’s sunny, you’re late,
he’s at the door,
he’s waiting, come
down and say hello.
Here is today.

Best friend’s impatient,
spine’s rusted to the mattress,
Mother’s been up for hours,
childhood is too clearly
gone. Can you hear me,
come on,
let’s go.

Head in pillow, there is
emptiness in these mornings,
a kind of restless discomfort in
okay, keep ignoring me.

I wonder which moments I'll remember.
Head pounding, voices calling,
wake up, good morning, good morning,

goodbye,
I open the door.

    What is the Alternate Project?

    The Alternate Project is the culmination of a three year artistic endeavor. Its predecessors, the 365 and 52 projects, focused on photography for one year and poetry for one year, respectively. The Alternate Project will cap the three-year period with a combination of poetry and photography, every single week, for the year 2015.
