these words
will last longer
in cyber space and time
so I have a care for my words

we glow
in morning light
sun rising through the clouds
cell phone sends you off a work day
bird songs

woodpecker taps
water laps against dock
geese honking their wake up call while
I laze

I laze
early morning
light sillhoetting trees
inviting me to greet the day
sleepy
sleepy
yet headachy
while here in my chimney
baby raccoon talks to his mum
loudly
