missed the dawn

suddenly
in the midst of deep sleep
a fog horn
roared in my ear

"quiet"
I told my husband

then my eyes opened
to light

missed the dawn
light from the windows
no longer dark

quickly
out of bed
coffee to perc
soldier son's
smelly laundry
in the machine

and sipping
water then coffee
getting my
email fix

but the sky's just
one white mush

I missed the dawn
