As the night breaks and the day falls

Rescue me from underneath the fluorescent sky,
the restlessness and the bleeding of time.
Deliver me into the darkness
for more than a flickering moment's
greater finality
in a destination for this train of thought to alight.

Rather than the relentless chug
that drives only to eventual exhaustion.
The depletion far more final.
The duration of rest unknown -
pray not that this time will be the
straw that brakes the camel's - bringing me
back into the nightmarish wreck
-age I tunneled out of,
only to return to
my deepest fear and my darkest longing -
brief respite
as the night breaks and the day falls
and fear of leaving lucidity farther and farther behind.
