upon opening the curtains

morning light wet with meaning
winks over the lonely horizon

in boxer shorts alone in a hotel room
blurred from both reading and dreams

faded denim of the sky unraveled
by sudden threads of cirrus clouds

false fire alarm in the early morning
raspy rough sleep before and after

white steeple erupting from a treeline
barely beyond the perimeter road

slow stretches and incantations
awareness of what is to be done

the world comes in a rush at the window
flies in on a shard of late spring light
