gutter gutteral

05.20. UK. 

Woken up by torrential rain hammering on my windows 
crazy dancing howling a hooley through the well lagged loft..
Hardly the time for a party, so - am refusing the invitation! 



Kitchen warmth: Peruvian socks snugging half asleep feet
Pan bubbling its own refrain, tinkling the stainless steel
chocolate powder awaiting the heat of semi-cream milk



Dawn's wondering whether tis time to peep across distance -
maybe wiser more to lie dreaming low in strata 's depth
along with the creepies and crawlies curled in dark dreams 


Car groans murderous at the kerb, gutter gutteral awake
door slams closed, its mood infamously October well known
Monday's memorial is sadly damp, soaked as is - wind-blown! 



Lady dog's eyes have that dark drooping dare.you.not.way
'We'll not woof-woof that wetness. but wait for nine when
Miss can don wellies and I will smugly soak in the rain!



Failing that, we could stay home, sit on the carpet next to
a gentle log fire, eat chocolates or nibbles (according to
our number of feet)  -  pause - and listen to music

This is so much better, I liked it before and I still like it now, but you have brought order to it, it looks so good. This line "Car groans murderous at the kerb, gutter gutteral awake" fantastic.
