sunrise
birds have to to arrive
the cat waits
sunrise
birds have to to arrive
the cat waits
chattering birds
break the silence
of first light
a few taps
quiet thunder
morning rain
tap tap
the dog’s tail
wags me awake
morning sun
chattering birds
splash in the bath
5 a.m.
half awake
and cold
morning birds chatter
by noon
silence
sad news
gives a quiet morning
weight
sleeping in
the dog snuggles
and licks my face
morning rain
lulls me to dream
another dream
