"Mornings"



Mornings


I roll out of bed,
go and pee,
feed Leo dry food,
take my blood sugars,
scowl at the numbers,
settle downstairs
and pour a bowl
of cereal with milk
except for the days
of microwave oatmeal
buried in brown sugar.

That's how I start my days
on Planet Earth.

The end is a whole 'nother
set of rituals.

Bruises between.
