August Morning

A morning comes with vacant bliss.
No thoughts, no to-dos, no concerns.
A silent rain on a silent street.
Some slurping mouths in window grilles.
Some arms receiving monsoon alms.
Some overflowing gratitude
Occluding lenses yet unwiped.
I climb a groaning tabletop,
Relieve the ticking clock of cells.
