Ordinary Day
the angel Uriel illuminates the room
I regard orchid morning glories
wait for coffee to brew
message: next year there will be peace
for breakfast soy bacon
crisps in the microwave
a bush burns brilliantly in the backyard
the sea layers the sky
gray permeates the day
the light vanishes
I sample my cafeŽau lait
muse over today's bombing in the Middle East
