I will
wake up
with sun and
warm dust through

the windows of the house I love.

I will
sink my
teeth
and be warmed by

the soft white toast and tart fatberry jam I love.

I will
be smoothed
and dazzled by warm
dashes, mouth fluttering gulps of water

that I lean into and soap the soft self I love.

I will
step carefully,
each pavement
is precious

every footcurve slicing into bellies of the precious.

I will
hold my round thought
like a marble in
light palms.

There’s a dark sky but such a wide bright Earth.
