Dust gathers on the floor
Damp from the winter’s chill
Crumbs too
Remnants from crusty bread
–
I sit watching the arc
Long, reaching around the world
Move slowly across the floor
Rotational momentum observed
–
The temporary glint
Prismatic off the bottle
Shows the liquid level
Below half
–
Soon to be empty
Save a desert’s annual rainfall
Left as backwash and dregs
To evaporate in the recycling
–
The puffy clouds of the afternoon
Continue their lazy stroll
Passing spots of grey
Giving variety to the city
–
I below debate a nap
Sighing at a book oversold in review
An album playing
Offers no rhythm for page turning
–
Outside a forbidden world
Masked and contained
Passing with the season
Unremarked and shallow breathed
