Woke up this morning (blues haiku)

Woke up this morning to a thump on the window: false sky. A dead bird.

Woke up this morning with a fierce new itching on the soles of my feet.

Woke up this morning from someone else’s nightmare — I was the monster.

Woke up this morning to the shapeless summer song of a winter wren.

Woke up this morning & stared into the clock’s blank face: the power’s out.

Woke up this morning several hours too early: the moonlight tricked me.

Woke up this morning to the murmured sweet nothings of an empty stomach.

Woke up this morning with yesterday’s shoulder ache settled in my spine.

Woke up this morning to patches of frost in the yard. I got your letter.

Woke up this morning with the reds & the yellows. Another autumn.
