December, Dawn
December 28th, 2011 § 1 Comment
The old golden radiator sputters,
seethes and pops. It whinnies
like the engine of dad’s old Mustang
heating up during the deep freeze.
The furnace groans onward.
I sprawl naked against
the cold stillness atop
the disheveled bed
in the tick-tock silence
of deep December.
A rising, whistling scream
wails from downstairs.
I reach for the warmth of wool.
It’s the time to make coffee or tea,
I must have left the stove on.
I’m not going to turn it off.
Not yet.

Very descriptive of a cold day, in an old house. Savor those days, when you don’t have to be any place in the early morning.
