Four walls
Two lined
Floor to ceiling
With books
The other two
Towering glass
Overlooking
A garden
Peppermint tea
In a mug
Beside me
Scratching vinyl
Playing softly
Birds chirping
From the branches
Light breeze
Moving through
Sunlight changes
At eve’s beginning
Sun sinking lower
Half circle
A quarter
A sliver
Until darkness
Envelopes the garden
Day’s end
Time to retire
Music stops
Mug empty
Shadows dance
Across the bookshelves
I set down
The printed pages
Collect the mug
Close the glass
Turn out
The lights
And slip away
