Those Were the Mornings

You woke me early in the morning, big sis' got up too, midsummer sun was already out, we ran excitedly - you were routinely jogging - I ran excitedly, we ran out into the early sun. You woke me early in the morning, we watched Marvelous prevailing over Hands Of Stone, he was so Marvelous and I so loved him, we both had our favourites, the undercard was all right too. You woke me early in the morning and I set about my books, I tried to at any rate, I tried to cram into my head as many answers as would go, and you made carrots sound like carrots and tomatoes sound like carrots. I woke you early in the morning, I made good enough coffee for your whimsical tastes, always kept me guessing, you did, sometimes it made me laugh, and I still thought you'd live forever, I thought that I might too. And I never imagined a mourning. 13th July 2018
