Slim Morning

Slim Morning  ~ Lali

She is stirring
in our room
I can hear
the dogs move
I know she'll be
getting up soon
The sun is
barely up
it's not yet
nine-o-clock
and I wish
she was sleeping
til noon

It's not that
I don't love
her constant
company
Or wish she
were other
than mine
It's just that
silence
Is a rare
commodity
And one I see
as sublime

My artist
is a hermit
a focused
(curmudgeon)
who doesn't care
who she may hurt
It's hard for my ego
To clean up
as we go
but if you go hard
yer gonna
eat dirt
