morning call
Alarm calls and eyes open
Snap response with dreams forgotten
Leapt from bed and off she sped
Clambering shower – clean teeth – comb hair
Half open eyes, half awake, don’t care
On automatic, she pours the coffee
Instant kick of caffeine fix me… up
And off towards the door, running
Skirt on, shirt open, fumbled fingers latching
Buttons closed, coat swirled, scarf curled
And quickly steps and clicks and pulls the door
Ice cold air hits hard, sharp breath for more
And wakening, enters the white, bright day
Merging into the chaotic people fray…
