This Morning Routine
By Michael J. Leach
still
no light
shines here—
no photons
enter half-
open eyes
for hours on end
till
low light
creeps
round the sides
of closed curtains
to the familiar sound
of an alarm tune
that continues
till
feet move
to the kitchen
and hands hold
a dirty kettle
below
a running tap
still
water
molecules vibrate
while the aroma
of instant coffee
crystals
fills
nostrils
and half-
light filters
through open shutters
into half-
closed eyes
