Spaces
In the early morning, words slide easily
across this blank page
there is nothing new to do today
no one to smile to, to say hello
to cuddle too or let my fingers
twirl a piece of straying hair
Last night I saw a mouse
it zoomed across the kitchen floor
I didn’t scream, jump on a chair
or set a trap to catch the fiend
I welcomed the patter of its tiny feet
like the spider that hangs from the wall
the dogs that clutter around my chair.
