Bright as a brass bell

Bright as a brass bell
sounding out this morning

Rumblings of the garbage trucks
lumbering along the street

An early morning cough
still tickling my throat

Quick flights out front and back
grabbing bin and tossing out

Slapdash feeds of cat and birds
to chase away the frosted air
before it grabs under clothes

Bush and window, post and branch
chiseled in the sharp clear light
