Some mornings getting up is just not a good idea, but has to be done. Nothing looks right or feels right. Everything is out of kilter, the wrong shape, the wrong day, even saying ‘good morning’ seems a travesty of what the world looks like …
THE SHAPE OF MORNING
all these dimensions
tall wide
narrow short
triangular rectangular
the distance of everything
hover just beyond touch
a hill away from hearing
the possible shapes
in every word flicker
over the horizon
until I meet them
at breakfast
Those Blue Shoes for ages 7-11 … Weston’s … skill in juggling time past with time present … the plot unfolds with fast-paced action, mystery, suspense and even a ghost. Joan Givner
