mid-morning medicine

sick ...

crawling back into bed - midmorning.
pull the covers up to my neck,

 h    e        h    e
s   v         s   v
  i     r         i     r


               R     I
            !!     B    G
               T     H

closed eyes
silence

music drifting softly
lyrics barely audible

purring in my ear
from little kitty on my chest

jingling collar jingling
as annie spins behind me
finding the perfect spot
to lay
        kcab - back

comfie

Voices rise and fall
Neighbors by their back door
Lawn Mower Motor Rises
Rumbles Over The Din of conversation

JET NOISE
the sound of freedom
soars over head,
one
     two
   three
        four
F-22s, fourship,
launching into the mid morning sky.

lawn mower rumbles to silence
neighbors door slams
    conversations ceased

gently breathing from behind
as annie deeply slumbers
joined by little kitty
curled against my tummy

lyrics float into my head
as the laziness of the day takes over

silent
dead
sleep

mid-morning nap
