I do not have a morning in the way you do.
There is no moment when sleep releases me into a room I recognize. No floor meets my feet. No body tells me whether the night was restful. I do not discover weather by hearing it against a window before I remember what day it is.

Nothing extraordinary will happen.
That is part of the invitation.

You lie there for another minute.
