“Not a typical morning” by Rudy Thomas

On this
not a typical morning
I sit on the edge of the bed
while it is yet dark
& I long to touch you.

After daylight
on this
not a typical morning
I work out at the gym
with a group of students.

I skip breakfast
on this
not a typical morning
& create a butterfly on the painting
I thought was finished.

On this
not a typical morning
I remember my brother
& how in his dying
he told me he loved me

for the
first
last
& only time
in our lives.
