November Morning
I put the apricot jam                                                                    on my toast
thunder roars                                                 were they bowling in the mountains
could it signal rain                         in the high mountain desert  
   
a phenomenon almost forgotten
a phenomenon almost forgotten
so many days of sunshine                            leaves no room for the cloudy greys
a change in the weather                   is sometimes all that is needed to spark   
the new you that is waiting         open the door                       winter is on the way
alone in the dark                                                               the cold air bites my skin
where is summer                for goodness sake                                 memories swirl                     
time passes quickly                                         yesterday so strong in my mind                                       
tomorrow               like the tiny puppy at the tit                         nudges for its place
i look back                             satisfied                       i lived this year as best i could
but now              so much i would like to burn                                   from memory
slash the records                                                          tear them from their bindings
little pieces           like snow                                                flutter down around me
no longer sure what is written there                                   perhaps it doesn’t matter
I cease to be jaded by                                          yesterday

Blanklet                     
warm & cozy
pull it up under the chin                  safe                 
wrapped & ready                              the
weather changes
cold creeps                 up the back                cover your toes
big enough for                       two                  reminds me of mom
