This morning as I write
on my MacBook, a light
snowfall greets the dawn.
I hear a strange sound
coming from the sunroom,
like some giant leaning
against the roof,
but I do not fear,
because I know it is
merely the winter wind.
I sip vanilla coffee
to warm and satisfy
my stomach; I am hunger secure,
knowing there is stew in the crockpot.
My security is shattered,
however, when I look
in the living room
at the fireplace:
a sobering revelation—
I ran out of firewood.
It is cold in this house.
My improvidence
precedes me…
I shake after all.
