Morning (November)



Nine things on an early November morning. The quiet appearance of trees at sunrise. Reconditioned bricks make a new wall friendly and purposeful. Sawn timber, stacked and stored out of the weather, waits. Dogs chase each other over moist oval as strap-holding owners make small talk. Lines and arcs of orderly traffic, perfectly repetitive, at a major intersection. One hot air balloon, a second and third, free of question. Sky, blue at zenith becoming lighter blue at horizons. Sweet coming-to of first sip of latte, first bite of buttery croissant. Proof of existence elsewhere in the universe: vast indescribable bougainvillea.
