the week begins.
a scarlet sunrise under dark lavender clouds
inside, I question every word I tap out
whywhywhywhywhy
shhhhhh…breath
one after another
loosens the clutch-y feeling
I think about the diabolical idiocy of being human
able to notice a gorgeous sunrise
and douse it with worry

the sky fills with bright lemon light
inside, the tiniest curve on my lips
