gray morning
I could be sleeping if I'd stayed home gray morning I would be sleeping if I'd stayed alone can there be a greeting? can there be a meeting? not just a yawning day just past dawn on this gray gray morning can there be a greeting? can there be a meeting? like for a sunrise on a high plateau the snow is melting the sky is leaden I think of my bedding I could be sleeping my eyelids meeting if I'd stayed home not this sipping of tea while rain is dripping outside even the dog is napping while daylight is wrapping grayness 'round my bones I could be sleeping my eyelids meeting if I'd stayed home even the dog is napping while daylight is wrapping grayness 'round my bones but indoor light is warming me to this morning more than to a sunrise on a cold plateau daylight is wrapping grayness 'round my bones but indoor light is warming me to this morning to my inside waking my inner daylight breaking while outside a greeting outside a meeting on this gray morning light dawning but tomorrow maybe I'll stay home tomorrow maybe I'll be sleeping
