Leo Xm Poems

The kettle hums before the light arrives,
and someone in the next apartment
turns a dial through static and weather.
Morning enters in a small key —
...

He was never part of our picture,
just a stranger crossing sunlight,
caught forever mid-stride,
one foot in our family's summer.
...

The kitchen light hums at four in the morning,
and the kettle takes its time,
the way old friends do.
...

Two Cups

One cup for the version of me
who wakes up ready, They share the same pot.
