le Matin

hello, Wednesday.

 

i just love mornings.

it's the part of the day, almost everyday

when i wake up, watch the sun rise, make a pot of tea, 

burn incense

and breathe deeply.

in the mornings, i tell myself

that i will keep all the promises i've made to me.

if you wake up early enough,

it feels like the whole world is a secret

just for you.

i try not to do anything that i hate, first thing in the morning.

like, no homework or household chores first thing on waking.

sometimes i knit.

and i like to be quiet.

the shower is the transition.

maybe it's the water, or the chill on my skin after i step out...

whatever it is, it brings the Day.

so i make my daily list in the shower. 

sometimes i dance in the shower, or cry.

sometimes i sing opera.

anyway, i do something to break my quiet.

haven't made it to the shower yet.

but there is a paper to be written, glooming and moaning around my house.

he has spread himself around like a shadow...

i hate him, for ruining my morning.
