Notes About The Poem

Daybreak

RISE ...


breathless, calm ...

     I face the morn ... possibility

          mists crawl 'neath gangling willows

            dew drawn from the keening hem of twilight

             spattered on green and growth like atomized sachet

            patient for the sun and its timid truths

          as I listen for the silent cry

     a new day's glory ...

soft-born.
