Desperate flight in thunderstorms

DS Maolalai

 

 

 

wild mornings. I wake up
and lawsuits like crows in my inbox
to the company – alas! and I am not a bird
at desperate flight in thunderstorms. I make
a cup of coffee; I offer
michelle coffee. some peach
comes through the window, a delicious
soapish pink.
