morning -
strolling thoughtlessly
through the green mist

hurrying for two of us
the morning coffee
boiled over again

sunk in the grass smell
seen only to the swifts

in pink and blue
painting my face
a new day

guests left
mugs, slippers, books
return to their places

sip by sip
savouring the first day
of this year's harvest
