did i feel alive this morning
during the scrubbing of the upstairs toilet?
no pulse there.
morbid, the thought
of falling blue
into foamy lather and old urine.
i did once, after lunch.
Lilacs whooshed left, baring
a yellowjacket's nest.
It's queen, her workers and
my livelihood suddenly alerted
by autumn's hasty face.
