sentiment at dawn
as i turn my car on,
the slow, steady blow
of the air conditioning
reminds me of family
roadtrips—-driving into
the mountains
how we’d wake up earlier
than usual to get a head start
to the day
that cool air refreshes me
before i turn it off,
roll down the window,
& listen to the morning birds
i make a sound of contentment
when i smell the blooming flowers

Brings me to my memories of rising at dark thirty to start family trips.
Lovely.
