winter palette

Sleet morning. Interrupted silence. Foggy memory. 
Lost sleep. Breakfast crumb. Almost sky. Table clutter.
Leftover pasta. Laundry day. Blank slate. Missed call. 
Vitamin pill. Scrub brush. Subscription renewal.
Biscuit dough. Carrot coin. Internet lag. Zoom filter. Extension cord. Junk mail.
Unopened atlas. Recycled candle. Empty calendar. New wrinkle.
Chipped plate. Supermarket coupon. Utility pole. Doctor’s appointment.
Osprey sighting. Bear print. Squirrel belly. Duck wake. Kitten stretch. 
Cinnamon gum. Sour Patch. Evening cocktail. Cheese platter. 
Near-worry. Second guessing. Occasional patience. Faint hope.
