contradictions that might or might not apply to the way to sun rises today

this morning was early dark
yesterday i knew everything
too ready (for it all)
I paused on the edge of sleep,
smiling.
and as the sun rose,
I am empty again.

close your eyes when you look
and i will tell you
what to see.
I am flat on the surface;
a thin trickle of memories--
i have no right to be so broken.

contradictions
are on my breath
as I whisper:
I am happiness.

I need to be needed
neediness pushes me away.
Just tell me! - I beg
then i can be complete
in knowing.
