Mornings Make Mistakes

by The Bright Voice

Original EveryPoem Studio house-voice poem.

Mornings make mistakes. They put the light too early, leave fog in the low fields, forget to warm the floor. They send one crow instead of a whole choir. They spill the coffee shadow halfway up the wall. Still, every morning signs its work with one impossible color and starts again before anyone can mark it wrong.
