Competing dominance between Sirens and silence
moth breaths yawning, arm & legs stretching.
Washing crusty gunk from sleepy eyes
pulling a toothbrush across slimy night-teeth.
Removing minute sunflower seed hulls
searching like a miner for sheltered kernels.
Blanching almonds & peaches fortifying porridge
before grinding roasted beans & percolating coffee.
Peering through sunrise windows, sipping java at dawn
watching eagles catch fish & ducklings in their talons.
