11/1 (Morning, 1)
When I start mornings like this,
the sweetness
of the berries I eat
seep deep into my clothes
and I wear raspberries throughout the day.
Green tea steam
rises from my mug,
sneaks between my curls
and whispers in my ear
to hold my head a little straighter,
a little stronger;
(at least until lunchtime comes around)
