A Death of Early Morning

It is  already 5am

and the sleepy broom

belonging to

ole lady Sanka

anxiously awaits  her

for it was about

that  time

for their

morning tango

cleaning

the front steps

just outside

her home

of 87 years......

Come rain

snow

or sunshine

meeting like that

each morning

 she would

beckon him

with curtsey

and oh

how he would

be transformed

from rigid hardware

to Fred Astaire

and passers by

would  marvel

at his footwork

but the minutes

turned to hours

this day

and ole lady Sanka

would not be coming

and soon after

a strange man

and his family

showed up

and the sleepy

old straw broom

never danced again...
