Muse Too Early
I already need a nap at 7 a.m.

The quiet quashes  —  early.
My thin knees need light for courage,
tip-toe about a cat sleeping
on the steps
going down
to the kitchen where the coffee maker
should remain silent, too.

Laptop warmly reawakens,
flashes a pleasing view
for idle hands aching --
but the mind
cannot ponder words,
but worry if hunger disturbs.
Digitally glowing, unable to employ
the squawksome  microwave.

I sit by a reflective window
that sees me in this cell.
Outside is heaven
and black
with one street light --
wonder of a wayward moon --
wonder  —.  when the sun
will appear,
why I just couldn't
stay in bed

when a fitful mind disturbs a poet early --
a caged writer
with hungry cats begging
the can opener --
a museless fool who cannot
steam ground bean
into flavor morning
richly deserves.

I write words like these
to myself  —  can opener
like an open letter
to a world that isn't watching,
sleepy as me who
only employs a head,
with fingers  —.  and these keys
marking a dim, lonely screen.

Even the car keys would jangle --
fire a vehicle
within a garage groaning
it must lift open,
that I might find freedom
from this space I should not disturb,
woken early
to desire,
something outside this barrier.



10.4.20
7.6.22

just another ode to being considerate to others when I wake too early and might get yelled at if I make too much noise with my need for creativity.
