Hour 6: Ideal Day

soft fur against my bare legs, barbed tongue cleans my calf

sheets pulled back, robe slipped on

quiet breathing

the whistle of water, spring of a toaster, sizzle of eggs, lemon, honey, caffeine, turn of a newspaper

writer’s almanac, daily poems, the scratch of a pencil, reading the news, view of the bay, crows, gulls, eagles, a great blue heron

lettuce, tomato, kalamata olives, cucumber, feta cheese, vinaigrette, cracked black pepper, fizzy water, snapchat to my daughter

closed eyes—soft fur on my pillow on my lap, soft music

shorts, socks, sneakers, t-shirt, backpack, book, notepad, pencil, iced-tea, sunglasses, hat,

10,000 steps, snapchats, a slug, bunny, deer, trees, flowers, kayaker, great blue heron, a log drifting, children laughing, holding hands

closed eyes, shower, soft music,

sizzling onions, garlic, bok choy, mushrooms, broccoli, ginger, coconut milk, curry paste, tofu, cilantro, lime, brown rice, red wine

French movie, holding hands, rubbing feet, sunset, games with friends

reading, writing, candle, bourbon,

robe slipped off, sheets pulled up, soft fur nearby, goodnight kiss, dreams
