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.
