Already the
machine moans
squeaky clean
and soon
to tumble
the kettle
filled begins
to boil
and beep
the snare
of slippers
shuffle across
hardwood floors
and cabinet
doors creak
such are
standard sounds
of early
dawn days
of June
Category: Morning
Calm
Early morning calm
well past the
scaries of night
and well before
noises of day
the moment before
rain starts falling
the feeling it
before seeing it
this kinda calm
the quiet kind
the kind that
almost nobody misses
having slept through
Escape
Cup in hand
water on boil
about the room
I slowly go
when out of
my eye’s corner
I spot the
moon breaking free
from her kidnappers
and she glows
with a sigh
of relief moments
before she ducks
behind the mountains
safe at last
Silence
Paw prints and
tire tracks seen
indents where clumps
have quietly fallen
creating a frozen
delicate water ring
these I found
after pulling back
curtains raising blinds
and I stood
seeing winter’s silence
LilMiss
Funny thing
about missing
one thinks
it stings
when gone
but when
it returns
it’s hard
to imagine
it not
