Comfort of Lamp Light

Lights of my office
mingle with street lamps
outside the windows
above my desk

The outlines of mountains
come into view
as the sun catches up
with my morning

The sky turns light blue
as doors open and close
and foot steps and muttered
voices emerge

I take a breath to sigh
the rats begin another race
the street lamps now gone
I continue working
