Out the yawning window
50 shades of roofs
Bluebird houses
Clouds and birdsong
Sherry my neighbor called to
tell me the mail box was open
the mail, wet from last night’s
rain
At 4 a.m. we had hail
theĀ pling pling against the
windows woke the puppy
I was silently chanting
don’t need to go out
don’t need to go out
It worked
I dreamt we were visiting
a few faceless others and
when I returned from another
room my purse that I had placed
on the back of a sofa was
missing
From serenity to a mystery.
