in the early morning fog
waking them if they are still asleep
annoying them if they are awake
I remember that sound of a jackhammer in my house
while my baby boy lay sleeping
walking through the house and into the basement
wondering where the sound was coming from
what was breaking
realizing days later when I saw him drumming on my neighbor's roof
not a jackhammer in the basement
not something gone very wrong with the heating
a flicker on the rooftop
