the call

a belated sensory poem

chilly is the door handle, then heavy the air, from nighttime coastal squalls;

hotel coffee's papery notes linger - acrid flavor, this hour, tasting sweet;

upon my waking ear, an early bird's wistful, echoing timbre falls;

ultramarine and cerulean, at a crimson borderline, reservedly meet;

salty, deep, and richly promising, the sea's redolence calls.
