First Morning

Today, I decide to start fresh. I grew tired of dark thoughts. I will look at the world in a better light.

After a dark
sleepless night
spent with cold feet
under warm sheets
my legs walk
on their own
and my hands
open the window
letting the sunshine
come inside quickly
sun rises and waves
i smile back
in fresh chill air
neighbour's dog barking
at chirping birds
and cars are coughing
as the drivers turn the key
this world is so different
than the one behind
my slouching back.
