Murder in the Morning

By Meko James Published about a year ago 1 min read
The Morning Traffic

Flight flocks pepper the pale haze of the blue early morning sky.

They belligerently fill the firmament with chaotic caws and cries.

A clammy wetness greets my face, compliments of a southern swell.

The heavy atmosphere holds the river ragweed and sawgrass smell.

Irascible until coffee's savor, forstalls murder in the morning.
