let’s get up early, make instant coffee.
let the kettle hum,
our hearts beat
under the clink of cups.
let’s pluck magic—
from this or•di•na•ry mor•ning
…we’ll saw & glide
over easy runs,
like who uses the shower first.
we’ll sta-cca-to wake the day,
watch
…the clothes & sheet
music
move
i n t h e w i n d
play it in whatever key. we’ll sing
.like strings.
