look out now



merest blue

it seems

with

a guess

more than a hint

of more light

behind



what do we call it

pre-pre dawn

that

spell-check

would challenge

when we

write about this

later



expect it 

o be cold

and so allowably

do

what we do



a time

to pull around

more clothing

from the bed

or closet

on the chair

(maybe

the floor)



to find some extra

socks

(maybe on

the floor)



drink water

also look for something

warm

that could be from

another body

or if alone

from coffee

or if not

from both



nice morning

well

a morning

like a morning

should we not stop

by

the fence

somewhere

to look around

without our eyes

to get it



this happened

yesterday

and

it’s extraordinary



‘morning

everyone

look around



c l couch
