morning reminders

if i had a string around my fingers
for every thing to recall
my quilted hands could comfort
well beyond the fall

blanket yarn well-chosen
melts a heart near-frozen
and it's after waking up
i pour the least acidic cup

autos biographical
driven beyond the oily limit
paged into a daily rag
paragraph tolls exhibit

feature flavors marketing
a sky that's naught but darkening
where's the fiery sunrise
when i'm digging dusty archives
