the day has such a funny tint
to it
pink & grey & pink & grey
no clouds
to the barred owl
perched
watching the pink & grey day come on to light
lighter
watching for prey
any small tiny movement
any small waking
this funny tint day to waking boy
under stars & planet quilted thick
pink & grey
his dreams reflect the coming sky
lighter
watching his own tiny movements
tiny movements toes to fingers to blinking eyes
to yawning
small waking rising rising
pink & grey this day
the cat sits
attentive & curled upon stars & planets
one turn of his silky head
watches an owl perched out the bedroom window
one turn watches a boy rising
one grey
one pink
all his contentment found in this day
pink & grey
