SLIPPERS
Warm feet on a cold wooden floor,
a wake up call, slippers turned
to midnight toys for the dog,
another silent morning with
barely any need for coffee,
a hot pot still awaits like fish
to bait, one slipper found
by the stairs, the other somewhere,
the morning snow dictates
the rest of the day,
looking out the patio windows,
footprints in the snow, raccoon
and dear, bears hibernating
this time of year,
the other slipper by a sleeping dog,
mist rising from the snow before
the dawn, a yawn shows the need
for a cup of Joe, what the new day
brings, no one would know.
