Wake with coffee. Dream left under my pillow; listen to your voice over silence, reflections of birds in night rain puddles and cement the day — toast to be made if I can find a piece of crust borrowed from the sleeping birds a preying reading Psalms , aside note to my day begins wondering what the last laugh was.
