waking up

I HAD set the ALARM on my PHONE for nine thirty
then ten
then ten thirty
the eleven
then just hitting snooze every five minutes 
until I just gave up

I had the sensation of 
FLOATING 
more like on gently lapping waves
than any type of flying situation 

with the weighted blanket 
anchoring me 
to something comfortable and non-threatening

since I was a CHILD I have had trouble 
COMING BACK 
from wherever I GO 
when I SLEEP
