Stir

the streets

like a mirror topped

frozen river

reflecting light

of the winter sunrise

night withdraws

reluctantly

dabbing windows

and roof tops

with its frost

paint brush

as it goes

in the zero hours

the streets

are vacant save

for the sole

delivery man

lights begin to go

on in apartments

after alarms

the hive stirs

and awakens

an hour later

reflection is lost

to the buzz

of busyness
