Cave Days Ii
We always notice twilight and dawn ...
the sun appears and then it is gone.
Nothing much happens at noon
a lunch hour that is soon
followed by a siesta
while the rest of
the day is brought up short
as twilight brings a report
of the approaching night
with all its fright
of boogie men
and other days when
the fire had to be kept
as the family slept
and the animals paced
outside our cave space.
Then the beating heart
sighs with a start
when another day dawns
and the body yawns.
Eternal time that cycles by
is just the same for you and I ...
we always notice twilight and dawn,
the sun appears and then it is gone.
