Summer Morning 1

the first day was full of excitement

then came the second day when his eyes popped open and the words

I'm bored crossed his lips

lifting my head from story notes and ideas galore

I think ...... how can you be bored

you just woke up

then his little voice says mom may I have .......

grabbing his tablet knowing its early enough

for him to go back to bed after watching one of his videos

I hand it to him and take a sip of coffee

the clock ticks 6:43 am and my eyes close

feeling the pull of sleep once again as the quietness

becomes consistent

he breathes quietly sweetly

wafting across my back as

his tablet plays to an

audience of no one.
