I have this one idea


It bit the back of his throat as he opened the door the nightly cold brisk.
So different from the warmth of the bed he had just left

Coffee and chocolate
Anything else

From an interior bedroom
beneath her pillow she yelled

Chips we need chips

Taking a mental note he turned once more into the acceptance of cold

The rattle of his keys
a femur xylophone echoing
In the early of winter morn.
