7 a.m.
Fog lifts as if a wind
somehow got beneath an edge
and tore it free of moorings
to flip flop it away in tumbles
weathering in from the west.
All blue skies travel that way
on the jetstream, high in atmosphere
pushing clouds ahead of a bubble
of clarity in the cool of night.
Somehow the dew falls in a sparse
sheet of dampness on the grass
that makes the dog mince on dainty paws
when he rushes out for morning duty.
A smile curls its way with coffee
steam from the brim of a mug full
of caffeine alertness and sugared
energy needed as much as air
and a lover's kisses every day.
