best time of the day
between sleeping and waking
these quiet moments

tweeting
the first bird tweeting
cat purrs and dog breathes a sigh
the warmth of my bed
tick-tock
those waking moments
a passing plane, early traffic
tick-tock goes the clock
outside
first cars of the day
squeeze by on the lane outside
sounds like it’s raining
rim
over the Earth’s rim
a tentative sun peeps out
women clear rubble
shadows
as the leaves darken
sun assumes its autumn stance
oblique shadows fall
afternoon
timeless afternoon
meeting friends of thirty years
sharing memories
dry
passing by our gate
morning walkers and their dogs
a bowl licked quite dry
hot
a hot upward draft
scrapes a branch against a wall
a dozing bird blinks
heatwave
heatwave continues
spiders spin webs in the shade
hoping for dewdrops
