“Morning People” by Shannon Grosse

Quiet coffee croons 
Her
Boiled water aubade:
Easy
Risers
Up by 7
:15 - weave
Meek finger
Through mug’s harp
Handle & sip
Blushing autumn
Bristles breathe light
& dance the body electric
Soft
Sock
Steps on hardwood
I collapse on the carpet 
Corner
& stare
Across 15th: honeymelted sidewalks rush
Hour traffic & breathe
Laughing air 

What I drank when I wrote this: lemon lavender tea
