Buttered warmth
Braided together
In my morning tea
* * *
Cups of coffee
Blurry and perfect
A little more time
* * *
Laundry time
Watching clothes drown
Cold circle of air

Laundry time
Watching clothes drown
Cold circle of air
Red cardinals
Meet in garnet penumbras
Cherry seeds glint

Antique photo
Mona Lisa of the deep
Dream of the past

Azure cornflowers
Warm yellow months spent
Burning letters
Pieces of the past
Mary poppins sugar
What a farce

Mary poppins sugar
What a farce

Warm and breezy
Raising my sweetened sweet tea
Summer state of mind

Among summer stars
Listening to R.E.M.
Taking real breaths
