Night now

is morning.

 

I hear clearly

the fledging gulls

nesting restless on the roof.

 

Small feet run inside walls.

Trapped flies 

plead with windows.


Dog barks

soak into the

wind.

 

Geraniums

lose soil and petals from their pots.


Lost seeds and leaves are blown 

under my ill-fitting kitchen door.
