To My Sleeping Titan

by Meghan Helmich

I've not been thrifty with my time,
Pining for two, maybe three
Years ago.

Before I got the blues and ran
Riot with my threaded survival.
That woman is asleep.

She rests quietly under the glass
As I build a new city on the surface,
All towers and windows.

Something like routine goes on
In the pocked face of terror
That the glass will flood

With salt water from a spilling sea,
That she will stir in the waves
And quake with life.
