Day 9 Time of Day

7:44 AM in Southwest Colorado

The porch bell is silent--at last.
I took it down to stop its clanging.
The wind rustles the bushes
that promise spring
with barely discernible buds,
but the slate gray sky
threatens snow.
A single truck roars by,
announcing morning.
I hear a groan back the hallway.
The troops are rising.
Time to get breakfast.
