a slice of warm bread

sometimes all it takes
is a slice
of warm bread,
butter, and 

blueberry jam

spread

with the flat blade

of a knife

holding a reflection

of your morning

face.
coffee,
and an open

window to catch

the breeze.
the quiet of early morning.

gulls floating 

lazy in the sky.
the ocean can be there
too, across the cool sand,
the sun, just barely
up enough
to make it warm again.
