Forty Watt Bulb

morning voices low and civil
over first morning's coffee
percolated on a wood stove
warm bathing light
under a forty watt bulb 

gentlemen warming their hands
around chipped ceramic mugs
topped off and steaming in the
soft yellow light
of a forty watt bulb

wondering and comparing if
something could be done better
with this or that
from the hardware store in town
under a forty watt bulb

snowy horsblankets drift
past the panes sectioned
painted white gloss cutting
a gallery of gray
of the outdoor side
of the forty watt bulb
