Careworn Sun

Careworn sun


It was early Sunday morning. 
I saw a red sun struggling to get over a mountain range
and then it was morning.
A cat jumped up on a car roof, the vehicle's alarm 
sounded, blinking light that stopped after a little while
no one came out to investigate.
The silence was profound I could hear the town breathing 
rhythmically in and out, a dog barked but thought better
abruptly stopped.
The day with its opportunity, pleasure and grief began.
