Daybreak
The sun sneaks in underneath the sky,
Late to make a day, neither broad,
Nor light, nor morning, nor night.
Exposed airy dew, charged by searing
Gas lamp artifacts, a spectrum of mist,
In moiré, almost precipitated.
The anticipation lubricates this world,
And the night retracts its cover,
And a brave bird reveals her kind.
Saturated benches, sills, and cars begin
Again, amniotic, hermetic, unbroken seal;
Soon she will wipe them dry with her stare.
Diffused, she gathers her parts, and lights
Her flame. If she doesn’t once again
Make magic of a tardy day.
