The silence is shattered.
A shrill beeping
penetrates the ear.

An arm emerges from a nest of blankets.
It flails in the direction of the noise.
Books
Pencils
Hairbrush
all fall as the hand gropes.

It makes contact.
The room falls silent once more.
The hand retreats.

Again, the noise.
The incessant
piercing
dream-shattering
noise.

A muffled groan is heard.
The arm re-emerges
seizes the cause of the noise
flings.
It hits the wall and is silenced.

A light goes on.
A tousled head appears,
eyes blinking owlishly
in the brightness.

Squinting across the room
I see my alarm clock
in pieces on the floor
and sigh.

ahhh...mornings. gotta love 'em.

"The widows of Ashur are loud in their wail,
and the idols are broke in the temple of Baal,
The might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword,
Hath me
