it's early; 7:17 first things first I push open the window the morning soaks my sweater my skin quickly drenches in its chill I think of you the flowers are blooming and resting on the window screen alongside a large mosquito I ignore her & she ignores me I make coffee inhaling a breeze created for me it is easy clinging to these things a lot like leaves do their trees & much like them I fall slow but it's spring now & the birds are sipping and singing that Raven with her suddenly, loud solo against a white canvas painting the only image that exists during these isolated seconds & I thought of you it sounds sweet sometimes it even tastes as such but much easier is it, t y p e d o u t *t h a n d o n e
