Pensive

--

Dogs barking, dutifully
As the old porch floor sags,
And sinks down, and with it
My level too, slowed, lowers.
On a day, not unlike this morning,
Temperate and calm, birds joining
The chorus of daybreak, I will cease.
But not today.
Not this day.

I write stuff when something begs to me to write. The goal is to write ten-thousand things before I die. I tend to be morbid, reflective and personal.
