October 7

The heat came on today,
first time this season,
sixty one was too few 
degrees for a wishful cozy
Saturday. 

The dog accepted his
burrito blanket
and neurosis licked off
a part of a toe
nail.

Work is whirring in
a corner, in between
oatmeal and text
message 
trails.

The plants are now inside
and I am among them
waiting for fall photo
synthesis to green
my coffee heart.
