Something in the air

I am still thrown off by the time change, the light change, the air change.  The only resolution is to wait until things clear.  I used to be able to push through such things.  No longer.  So I sit and get back in touch with the familiar around me.

There must be something

In the water

In the air

In the light

Today.

I am home from church

Under a blanket

In the blue chair.

My beloved is sound asleep

With the cat

On his chest.

The bush does not burn

In front.

I touch the familiar

Around me.

I wait.

There is something

In the water

In the air

In the light

Today.

I sit and wait

For something

To settle:

Sediment in the water;

Dust particles cleared

Out of the air;

The sun to set

More than an hour earlier

Than it did

Last week.

I sit and wait for that something

To clear,

Make way

For something else.
