Silence of the morning cotton mouth
and blurry vision of sleepy eyes

Relish the taste of cool mint
dressing your teeth
and goose bumps dance along your skin
at 6:01(A.M.)
and you're not afraid to return a smile
to the morning sun

but your coffee is too harsh

and it feels like heaven
rushing through your cold body
because it's October

and when his hand rests on your shoulder
and you feel a wave of electricity,
you forget what time it is
and the day and the month
the world stops rotating,
you capture this moment between your boney fingers and keep it safe with your heart
because it's 6:28(A.M.) and it's October
and he loves you and you love him
