Year of writing 330. New poem

1/2/13

The neighborhood is quilted in quiet.
Doves and dogs and children,
acorns dropping, the wind.
The sun cuts across the
frosted lawn this morning
in a thin corridor,
warming the denim on my knee.
Coffee sits in a mug at my feet,
like an old dog, tendrils of steam
inching toward the sky.
