It is the television left on
until 3AM, untouched
take-out food lying
on coffee tables, ringmarks
from mugs of steaming
beverages cooling from
the lack of touch, or
glasses with a bit
of alcohol, or water left
inside.
It is the freezing cold of the
rooms in your house as
you rise from your warm bed,
empty when you stand up to leave it,
the floor's absorbed cold seeping
through house slippers to your feet
as you pull on clothes with sleep
in your eyes.

The cold morning air, unflinching
on your face as you go through
the rest of the city.

   Lovely. A good way to start a lonely Tuesday morning.
