From my Morning Window

August 2020 ~ 
From a different morning window

Pale sky pinks roof eaves ~

gauzy pink clouds drift away

trees wave in a busy wind 

a scattered flock of birds fly to the north ~ the wind stills for a moment before taking up a gust to wake any trees still sleeping ~

a wisp of smoke escapes its tall chimney to dance a slow dance in the cool air


Movement on the ground 

distracts me ~ across the street 

a husky orange cat patrols his territory.


“Set side the window. Let me drink the day.”

~ Edith Wharton, Artemis to Actaeon and Other Verses
