The smiles of
the morning piano
bleep of kettle
and hiss of
diffusers casting early
fragrance skyward bathing
the home in
a luxurious harmony
Mr. Clock chimes
the hour as
you finally rise
and follow aroma
around like an
English setter catching
a pleasant surprise
and I stand
giggling watching you
play this same
old silly game
of hide and
seek you being
the cat to
our homes mouse
