There’s just
something about
that first
sip of
morning coffee
similar to
that first
smooch I
share with
you each
one reminding
it’s dawn
things to
do you
to love
Category: Morning
MiseryClouds
The clouds today
are like tufting
laid out lengthwise
on a table
one after another
like the corpses
of fallen warriors
on and on
as far as
the eye sees
this morning’s clouds
herald a misery
not only seen
but silently felt
for anyone knowing
them this way
EarlyDenverSnow
A blizzard in October
it is unheard of
and I grew up
in the north Wisconsin
to be exact where
we know our snow
but here in Denver
we’re a mile higher
and I do suppose
that much closer to
angels when they molt
causing it to snow
here whereas lower down
others will see rain
thinking that its tears
when we here know
it’s a little piece
of Heaven this snow
brief as it is
Drifts
Sitting here with coffee
gazing at nights snowfall
I now hear the
growl of the snowplows
piling snow into corners
like security guards keeping
fans and morbid onlookers
from stars and accidents
and like I did
when I piled your
things at the door
after I found those
texts on your phone
SnowSnowSnow ❄️
I am tickled
by simple things
and this morning
I am beside
myself with glee
and my giddiness
changed my morning
kiss for you
from quiet affection
to startling confusion
what what what
you asked sleepily
it’s snowing it’s
snowing in Denver
sitting up looking
like a badger
poking its nose
above its den
it is snowing
now cuddle me
and kiss me
let us watch
this snow together
tonight and play
in it tomorrow
