Texas Winter

stoned in my barren backyard
staring at the broken beer bottles in the fire pit
holding a bowl of cereal in one hand 
dishwater brown hair falling limp into my periphery 
like dark leather blinders on a bridle 

i am circling the fire pit 
feeling the newborn sun on my back
and the raggedy yard around me
summarize and mimic how it was

to spend the morning in your bed
and hear your voice
while being very close to you
