Bleary eyed in an early hour
Dreams having winked and lurched
their way in low waves across dawn
and through the edges of memory

Drinking coffee in a greygreen hour
with thunder still a southern muttering
whispers of a springdeep storm to come
in deep counterpoints to the barge traffic

Trying to bring myself to myself
gluing my mind together with coffee
as the radio softly lets in the world
I look out the half blinded window

where a smoke limbed cat stretches
and accepts the world as tribute

The last two lines are very good Bardi.

thank you. One of my personal tricks this month is that none of these poems have been revised..they are straight off the cuff. I really thought the cat would have more of the poem..but those lines seemed to sum things up?
