Runners

10 months later
the stairs are still bare
the carpet is ordered
but still not there
if it arrives tomorrow
there's still a fix to make
a hole in the floor (not pictured)
so...

in the morning when I want to sleep in, thumping feet stomp back and forward
perturbing me to wake, shake, grump, lump outta bed, stretchin' and scratchin'.

runners, scunners, ups and downers, stompin feet, grumpy heads, nights that last
draughts and splinters are soon destined to be, all glorious things, of the past.

1 weekend later...
this won't be bare
expect a fresh blip
when covered, is our stair.
