Inner Woman Volume 2

Shrill beeps

Slap

Repeat

The icy world

interrupts my sleep

Creaking protest

of unwilling

bones

Another week of

ordered chaos

Coffee wafts

up the

stairs

My nose protests

it’s too early yet

The blow dryer

howls

my hair won’t curl

The suit I want

missing... shit!

Sizzling bacon

Eggshells cracking

a glass teeters

Shattering

Breakfast battles

Burnt toast

Smoke alarm

my soul cries out

in dismay

Monday morning

blues wail and

moan

they pierce my spirit

to the core

Tuesday has to be

a better day
