Shabby rooster
-----------------

The smell of burnt milk in the morning,
Parables of domesticities
Rise from the night of an unslept bed.
The tired ring of a sweating land-phone
That you cannot quite ignore and still…
Let it ring all the while the shower
Wasting your treasured dark exhaustion.
A shaft of light is waiting outside.

Now again you have to watch your feet.

clever talks delay friendship!

Dear Ku, this is clever, psychologically interesting and as usual very well rendered.


treasured dark exhaustion

now again you have to watch your feet

my favorite lines, besides the "shaft of light", ready to brighten your day.

Love it, you are very good, my friend.

Love,
Margherita

You capture quite well the emotional edges of light and dark, and the space where they intertwine.
