waking

[Delta40]

frosty mornings
push my swollen feet
into sand filled slippers
I trip over the matted dog
rolling on the carpet
I smell the chook crap
God, the peck, peck pecking
at my back door!
When I switch on the light
my sticky sleep filled eyes
make the weak milky tea
an habitual medicine
It stimulates my awareness
to blood flows
tidal ebbs,
and peak hour traffic

bloody hell delta, how can you wake up and be so creative. Im thinking please kill me at that point of the day. I have never seen or heard of a chook, but think you should get a gun for them. Then use it on the dog. I jest. Thought I better add. Only the dog should get it. I jest again. Save the bullets for the rush hour traffic.
was ace. Felt like I was awaking down under. (no euphimism intended)
loved it

chook=chicken
I love this time of day - although I have a daughter who looks like she would plunge a knife through my chest when I chirp 'good morning' to her...

ahh , but one day she will remember how her mother chirpily bade her good morning and think how lucky she was that delta40 of the litnet was her mother her mate. Although maybe not in those exact words
yours
