Title

‘Morning Best’

Morning Best

Morning Best

I like morning best: delivering
papers with my son, the dew lit grass.

 Our coffees, flushed with milk, make
 the sharp air sharper

 as we move from house to house,
 lobbing dailies into dawn's bliss.

 Once upon a time, others walked this route;
 we feel them in the wind, the rustle of leaves.

 We are their connection
 to these houses, the old neighborhood, the moment

 as we move forward, just as they did,
 through the ribbon of time

 shouldering less and less with each toss
 headed home with every step we take.
