relaxation

sit in the greying light of the early morning
sit in the sitting room, all is quiet, all is sleeping, but for the cat. Fed, and now full of purrs.
Let her out.

There are a few cars outside, they are to be heard down on the street.
Otherwise, it is silent. Perhaps there will be more people on the street later on. It is Christmas Eve today, most of the businesses are closed, few people are working,

and the rest of the family asleep.
Slowly now, with a temporal distance from the daily rush to work, relaxation is settling in, there is no longer the feeling of such despair and exhaustion.

Christmas break
And the clock says that it is six minutes past nine.

And it is getting lighter and lighter
Just sit there, do nothing, enjoy the taste of the bitter cheap coffee
and think of the things that need to be done about the house.
