City Dweller’s Lament
City Dweller’s Lament
not sure I can remember;
cars have gained control
whiz by night and day —
was there ever silence?
only the birds
on an early morning dawn
on an early morning dawn
waking early
waking early
at grandma’s house
crisp white sheets
my own double bed
the cinnamon smell
of pancakes in the kitchen
pancakes
made just for me
🙂
was there ever silence
was there ever silence?
only the birds
on an early morning dawn
