Bustle of domestic.
Yellow curtains
pain the countertops.
Smooth butter sunlight
and calm,
like warm cream.
Eggs collected early,
now sizzle in the pan.
Coffee, bacon, toast,
and olfactory seance
welcoming all spirits.
Practiced and efficient,
each movement purposeful.
An engineer at work,
the mission, satiating.
A blissful morning.
Rare moments
of peace in this world.
Pour a cup
and take them as they come.
She beams.
The Sun does not compare.
Give thanks
and mean it fully.
