early is the time

early is
the best time to write.
when most
are still in bed,
asleep,
husbands and wives,
children,
the lost and lonely,
the single
souls,
the infirmed lying
in strange beds.
before the sun rises
is the best
time to sort through
the lines
that mingle
in your mind,
waiting waiting for
your fingers to go,
to write them forward,
with or without a
rhyme.
