Today's a nice day,
I muse.
I pull open the one window in the kitchen.
My arms turns to gooseflesh.
A bit crisp.
I breathe in,
Then,
Release.
Fresh start.
I turn toward the pot of coffee on brew,
The smell wafting into my focus.
Bringing fond memories,
Of us,
Eating breakfast,
On a Sunday.
My eyes catch on to,
A just ripened banana,
Yellow.
I scrawl a note.
In blue.
"I miss you"
I flip it to the back,
Examining,
The sticky bit.
Pieces of stray fur.
Probably, cat.
Last sheet.
Good luck, perhaps?
Never mind it.
I tack it on the fridge,
walking away.
The wind
Sweeps in
carrying It
to the
floor.
About the Creator
Michele Nampalli
This space is breath for my sensitivity. The poems come fully formed. I've known for quite some time now that my art is about receiving more than creation...its the most natural way I know to process my inner world. It started when I was 7.
