As Another July Day Dawns
As Another July Day Dawns
Stippling . . .
The leaves of the trees
S p a t t e r i n g …Their
Silhouettes
filling my window
(Barely to be seen while stll so early)
The dark dots …
of the remains
Of the night’s
Weeping
leaving hymn spreading —
with its soft graphite gray
blanket background
Rippling
(as if caught in some
Lasting
d r e a m
Unwilling to reach its
e n d i n g
…Leaving
and so to be sliding aside
for this day’s gracing
Dawn
sun to rise
~ coaxed by the fading background grays
Now
blushing
into neon light gray/white
flakes
of dawn spattering like a Christmas in
July snow with
This
r i s i n g
Tickling
my poet’s tongue…
