My husband softly snores
The air purifier hums along
Cat’s nails click clack on the floor
Before he chases his joy down the stairs
Neighbours shout goodbye
Car doors slamming
And my mind chatters
So loud it almost
Drowns out my morning
For a moment
I long for
The sound of
My coffee maker
But the cold air
On my feet is
Louder than
Yearning
