harsh


i always 
love 
morning light
 the best 

no matter the season 

this time of year 
in the early morning
the shadows and the light 
harsh contrasts 

 the way i feel about mornings 

i was never a morning person
truly

the sunrise 
its a personal affront

there was a time 
long past
i could
i would
stay up
late
really late

sleep late

no more

my job
my cats

mornings 
we have a truce now
