Morning Run

Thrum. Thrum. Thrum.
Out for a morning run.

I pass the open market
and see old man Crockett,
his cheeks work-worn scarlet.

Thrum. Thrum. Thrum.
Out for a morning run.

Max the cat, sits, blinking
at his world through twinkling
light. What is he thinking?

Thrum. Thrum. Thrum.
Out for a morning run.

A dancing bay otter
churns the bright water,
playing teeter totter. 

Thrum. Thrum. Thrum.
Out for a morning run.

Suddenly I spot her
Rose, fisherman’s daughter,
My warm cheeks burn hotter.

Thrum. Thrum. Thrum.
Out for a morning run.
