So it began like this
6:30 am I can hear seagulls
outside my bedroom window
pants hoodie cigarette headphones
bare right to left again
down the stairs to toes
to heel then full foot again
good morning to the girls
at the desk for the first time
certainly not the last time
the first of many better
mornings to be many mornings
bright and shining differently
the bell sounds deep and clear
pocket lighter flicker
pull
lighter pocket breathe
deeper than the bell and
pull
the air here touches my face
it is damper more comfortable
than I have recognized before
light and cool enough it lifts
my weight from the street
there is no bounce in my step
for I am hardly touching the ground
gliding sipping simply pulling on a
cigarette with coffee in hand
absorbing the ambience for all I can
through my skin thick and clean
an osmosis I am just now realizing
that I have needed to be reading into
the land of as I will be so as I am
