BREAKFAST/ 1921/ Fernand Leger
THANK YOU, Tess, for Magpie Tales...
GOOD MORNING
Daily sacrament:
a splash of perfume
on my hair,
twisting it into strands of silk,
braided purple band,
overstretched,
tying back loose ends
from yesterday.
Only then can I toast sun-up,
trace my thumb along
the facets of my glass,
yet still keep in mind the taste
of last night's Rose`.
This morning,
just Crayola orange will do,
juice squeezed and poured
from dimpled globes
into dowry cristallo,
sweetening the essence
of days gone by,
letting today arise
with a leap of intent.
