I woke up
before the sun did.
Purple darkness blotted my vision
as I rolled out from under the
warm comforter.
The cold air seeped
through my sweater
the closer I padded to
the window.
Parting the curtains a crack,
I looked out to the parking lot
of the motel.
Thick, greenish-white mist
enveloped the pine trees
and the lonely car shop
across the street.
It was like looking through
a frosted glass shower door.
Fog comes on little cat feet?
More like huge tiger paws.
The paws of a white tiger,
looking for lost prey.
Too bad for the tiger,
I'm too smart to get lost.

I stayed inside.
