Description
the drapes
greet me
an unpleasant
morning.

the sink
drip
drip
drips
again

& the tiles
are colder barefoot.

there is a pile of
newspapers on the
marble counter

& dead quiet
in the air-

until steam
billows from
the coffee mug.

sunlight
beams in the room
like a visitor

& breakfast
comes in with
a sweet smile.

it was 6:30 when
i was alone,
but 7:00
arrived

like a neighbor
& i am happy.

i have myself,
oversized t-shirt
& messy hair
& the warm
comfort of my
own skin.

i was alone.
i'm not anymore.
