when a small animal scratching from inside the walls
wakes you up like
your cat scratching at your apartment door
before six am
it is always a good idea to
heat up some coffee
and go outside with your kip and your dog
to watch the sun rise
(even if you can’t see the sun past the tree line)
what is it about
the rattle of an old farm house
basement heater
that makes me feel so
automatically
cozy?
a hummingbird knocked on our window this morning
and invited us with her to a fairy grove
we splashed in the icy cool creek waters
and slid up and down the hill valley roads
the dog was not so sure about the mini waterfalls
and i was not so sure about the steep decline
but before it gets too cold and snowy up here
it’s nice to call Vermont a two-week home.
when one is used to long long car trips
four hours feels like nothing.
and when hours and hours and hours of driving
usually requires an audio distraction,
shorter distances can be all conversation
(and you can fall in love all over again,
even without first falling out)
