Something Brilliant - Feb. 5, 2021
a soft thud
3:33 a.m.
(a perfect 3-of-a-kind - what are the chances?)
more attic sounds
boxes kicked and dropped
things tossed to the floor
something well-sized dragged
down the stairs then another
then a third the last and largest
thumps with each step
the noise maker with his
weighty prizes shuffles closer
stops at my closed door
the gentlest tap
I roll over one finger un-crusts one eye
two more delicate knocks in dead silence
I sigh reach for the light switch
knock a pen that rattles to the floor
OK Mind What brilliant idea
have you found that’s so important
for me to write about?!?
