Morning Sunrise
sunrise rushes eyes
taut from night of sleepy dreams…
clumsy fingers pry
hard floor limbers feet
stiff from immobility…
quick run to bathroom
java perks real strong
black as the ebony night…
cold bran cereal
movement is real slow
old feet and knees start to ache…
tenacious treadmill
eyelids wide open
embracing daily house chores…
anticipating
