Wrapped Up in Quietude

I love how dark
the room, wrapped up
in quietude, the rain
will stir, and the grand
will soon; blanket 
of singular drops
will soak the earth

snow cover of grand
wrapped up in cocoon
second cup of coffee
bare feet and relief
from humidity

how silent the rotation
of the fanned out blades,
like the clashing of clouds
there is a cure for silence,
the eventuality that
the world awakens
and the flowers, all wet

there will be the morning kiss;
lips parting, bliss
perhaps it is
a pancake morning
the pouring
of batter and mizzle

“a drizzly-mist,” and
comfort food, or scrambled
yolks and whites
with cheddar and chatter
“brain food”

still, quiet
