Early Morning

Jeans with no belt
sliding down hips.
Bed crazy hair
theoretically contained
under a fedora.
Step out
of a sleep quiet building.
Warm wind
sways the trees
sounding like a river.
One bird calls nearby.
Ring of metal clips
against the flagpole.
Lightening sky
with colors barely seen.
A vague impression
of pink purple and blue.
A dog barks.
More birds wake
and start to call
for mates.
Silent gratitude
at witnessing the moments.
